Volatile profiles of three tree species in the northeastern China and associated effects on Sirex noctilio activity

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
The wood-boring wasp, Sirex noctilio, is an invasive pest of numerous species of pine trees worldwide. The female S. noctilio wasps selectively lay eggs on different pine trees.

Butterfly Learning and the Diversification of Plant Leaf Shape

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
Visual cues are important for insects to find flowers and host plants. It has been proposed that the diversity of leaf shape in Passiflora vines could be a result of negative frequency dependent selection driven by visual searching behavior among their ...

SELECTION FOR HOST MODIFICATION BY INSECT PARASITOIDS [PDF]

Evolution, 1982
The ability of parasites to influence the behavior of their hosts is an important aspect of parasite-host biology (Price, 1980). Holmes and Bethel (1972) review an extensive literature that documents the influence of parasites on the behavior of their intermediate hosts.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Variation in resistance to multiple pathogen species:anther-smuts of Silene uniflora [PDF]

, 2012
The occurrence of multiple pathogen species on a shared host species is unexpected when they exploit the same micro-niche within the host individual.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Local adaptation drives the diversification of effectors in the fungal wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum in the United States

, 2019
Filamentous fungi rapidly evolve in response to environmental selection pressures in part due to their genomic plasticity. Parastagonospora nodorum, a fungal pathogen of wheat and causal agent of septoria nodorum blotch, responds to selection pressure ...

Selection of high-z supernovae candidates [PDF]

, 2002
Deep, ground based, optical wide-field supernova searches are capable of detecting a large number of supernovae over a broad redshift range up to z~1.5. While it is practically unfeasible to obtain spectroscopic redshifts of all the supernova candidates ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
