Melatonin signaling promotes resistance to rice sheath blight

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Multiple genes involved in the melatonin synthesis pathway in rice were induced by Rhizoctonia solani infection. The increase in melatonin content in plants promote resistance to rice sheath blight (ShB). Notably, exogenous melatonin treatment promoted rice resistance to ShB, and higher concentrations of melatonin inhibited the hyphal growth of R ...

Behavioural and physiological responses of chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) to human‐induced mortality in anthropogenically modified habitat

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract As a result of expanding human populations and the anthropogenic modification of natural habitats, many wildlife populations are living in increasing proximity to humans. While this may provide benefits to some species through increased access to resources, sharing space and resources often leads to negative interactions or ‘conflict’ between ...
