Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

C/EBPα is Essential for Gonadal but Not Inguinal White Adipose Tissue Formation in Mice
Human genetics has linked the gene CEBPA to waist to hip ratio and adipose distribution. We generated mice with AdipoQ‐Cre driven deletion of Cebpa and found these mice to have a specific reduction in gonadal white adipose tissue and myriad other metabolic phenotypes.

ABSTRACT Objective Glucose tolerance (GT) is a major effector for adipose tissue (AT) remodeling in obesity, yet its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We hypothesized that the biophysical and molecular profiles of AT‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVAT) change in response to glucose availability and differ by GT status.

ABSTRACT Objective Long‐term weight regain limits the population‐level benefits of obesity interventions. We tested whether the polygenic risk score of BMI (PRSBMI) modifies weight trajectories following modest weight loss. Methods The analytic sample included 9897 postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial (6132
