Melatonin or vitamin C attenuates lead acetate-induced testicular oxidative and inflammatory damage in mice by inhibiting oxidative stress mediated NF-κB signaling

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Lead (Pb) acts as an environmental endocrine disruptor and has negative effects in animals; excessive accumulation of lead causes reproductive dysfunction in male animals. Oxidative stress plays a vital role in Pb-induced injury.

Constitutive and herbivore‐induced plant defences regulate herbivore population processes [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2019
Abstract Herbivore‐induced plant defences regulated by the phytohormones jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) are predicted to influence herbivore population dynamics, in part because they can operate in a density‐dependent manner. While there is ample evidence that herbivore‐induced plant responses affect individual performance and growth of ...

Experimental support of the stress‐gradient hypothesis in herbivore–herbivore interactions [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2012
Summary The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) postulates an increase in the frequency of positive species interactions at increasing amounts of stress. While the SGH has been extensively tested in plant–plant interactions along abiotic stresses, it remains unclear whether this hypothesis could apply to higher trophic levels, such as herbivores, along ...

Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

Multi-omics profiling of chromatin accessibility and H3K27ac reveals super-enhancer–mediated regulatory networks governing endometrial receptivity in goats

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background Endometrial receptivity (ERE) is a transient uterine state that determines the success of blastocyst implantation; however, the epigenomic regulation underlying ERE establishment in goats remains unclear.

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles mediate host selection by a root herbivore [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2012
In response to herbivore attack, plants mobilize chemical defenses and release distinct bouquets of volatiles. Aboveground herbivores are known to use changes in leaf volatile patterns to make foraging decisions, but it remains unclear whether belowground herbivores also use volatiles to select suitable host plants. We therefore investigated how above-

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.

Plant Defense against Insect Herbivores [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2013
Plants have been interacting with insects for several hundred million years, leading to complex defense approaches against various insect feeding strategies. Some defenses are constitutive while others are induced, although the insecticidal defense compound or protein classes are often similar.
