Impact of Changes in U.S. Grain Standards on Discounts for Insects in Stored Grain [PDF]

open access: yes
The Federal Grain Inspection Service changed U.S. grain standards in 1988. Insect discounts given at country elevators and at terminal elevators were analyzed to determine impacts of the new standards.

Neuropeptide Ecdysis‐Triggering Hormone and Its Receptor Mediate the Fecundity Improvement of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus’‐Infected Diaphorina citri Females and CLas Proliferation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In CLas‐infected D. citri, CLas lowers 20E levels initially, relieving the suppression of ETH release. The subsequent increase in ETH levels upregulates its receptor DcETHR and activates the JH signaling pathway. The signaling cascade of 20E‐ETH/ETHR‐JH along with miR‐210, targeting DcETHR, boost female fecundity in CLas+ D.

Regeneration in insects

open access: yesSeminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 1999
@9cIntroduction@21T issues exhibit an impressive ability to respond to a myriad of insults by repairing and regenerating complex structures. The elegant and orderly process of regeneration provides clues to the mechanisms of pattern formation but also offers the hope that the process might one day be manipulated to replace damaged body parts.

Cereal Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and Winter Wheat: Host Plant Resistance Relationships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The cereal leaf beetle was introduced into North America from Europe prior to 1960. An overview of the control of the insect in North America is presented with major emphasis on host plant resistance.

Machine Learning‐Enabled Drug‐Induced Toxicity Prediction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Unexpected toxicity accounts for 30% of drug development failures. This review highlights ML innovations in predicting drug‐induced toxicity, emphasizing comparative analyses, interpretable algorithms, and multi‐source data integration. It categorizes toxicity types, summarizes ML models, and organizes key databases, offering strategies to address ...

Basic offspring number and robust feedback design for the biological control of vectors by sterile insect release technique [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising control method against insect pests and insect vectors. It consists in releasing males previously sterilized in laboratory, in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study in this paper the implementation by feedback control of SIT-based elimination campaign of Aedes mosquitoes.

Managing Economic Risk from Invasive Species: Bug Options [PDF]

open access: yes
Invasive insect species cause billions of dollars of direct and indirect damage to U.S. crops each year. The market for insuring insect damage is, however, far from complete.

The Semi‐Natural Climate Chambers across Latitudes: A Broadly Applicable Husbandry and Experimental System for Terrestrial Ectotherms under Climate Change

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Assessing species' vulnerabilities across geographical gradients is essential for biodiversity conservation under climate change. To address this challenge, the semi‐natural climate chamber across latitudes (SCCAL) is developed, a validated system capable of simulating thermal environments for ecological experiments without reliance on water or ...

Protease‐Mediated Synthesis of Zein Nanofibrils: From Structural Elucidation to Functional Application

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The globular shape and hydrophobicity of zein made it unsuitable to be processed in pure aqueous environment. Pepsin‐mediated hydrolysis converts zein into water‐soluble and fibril‐forming peptides with a bioconversion rate exceeding 70%, enabling the self‐assembly of amyloid‐like nanofibrils.

An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.
