Oviposition Behaviour, Nymphal Development and Below‐Ground Olfactory Preference of Pentastiridius leporinus on 12 Beta vulgaris Genotypes

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the primary vector of two phloem‐restricted prokaryotes, which can cause the disease syndrome de basses richesses (SBR) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Heavy infestations of this insect have contributed to significant yield losses in Central Europe, but little is known about ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Volatile organic compounds orchestrating microbiome‐mediated crop resilience: Prospects and challenges for sustainable agriculture

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbivory triggers the production of green leaf volatiles, and dense planting results in induces increased concentration of linalool emission in maize canopies. These volatiles activate plant‐soil feedback that enriches beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, enhancing resistance, though sometimes at a growth cost, thereby offering new avenues for sustainable

Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.
