Host selection through collective decision

ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems, 2012
In this article, we present a collective decision-making framework inspired by biological swarms and capable of supporting the emergence of a consensus within a population of agents in the absence of environment-mediated communication (stigmergy). Instead, amplification is the result of the variation of a confidence index, stored in individual memory ...

Product safety aspects of plant molecular farming

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Plant molecular farming (PMF) has been promoted since the 1990s as a rapid, cost-effective and (most of all) safe alternative to the cultivation of bacteria or animal cells for the production of biopharmaceutical proteins.

Compartment Niche Shapes the Assembly and Network of Cannabis sativa-Associated Microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Interactions between plants and microbes may promote the growth of plants and regulate the production of secondary metabolites. Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is an annual herb and an important commercial crop.

Modeling host-associating microbes under selection [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2021
The concept of fitness is often reduced to a single component, such as the replication rate in a given habitat. For species with complex life cycles, this can be an unjustified oversimplification, as every step of the life cycle can contribute to reproductive success in a specific way.

Aphid–Plant–Phytovirus Pathosystems: Influencing Factors from Vector Behaviour to Virus Spread

Agriculture, 2021
Aphids are responsible for the spread of more than half of the known phytovirus species. Virus transmission within the plant–aphid–phytovirus pathosystem depends on vector mobility which allows the aphid to reach its host plant and on vector efficiency ...

Can Insects Assess Environmental Risk? Movement Responses and Nymph Emergence in Response to Insecticides

Agriculture, 2023
In natural habitats, there is a strong evolutionary selection pressure on herbivorous insects to avoid danger and choose suitable host plants. Similar selection pressures may drive movement and choices of oviposition hosts by herbivorous insects living ...
