Chromosome-level genome sequencing and assembly of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina myrica

Scientific Data
Leptopilina wasps are crucial for biological pest control, particularly against the globally emerging pest Drosophila suzukii. Despite their ecological significance, the genomic basis of host selection and parasitism in this genus remains underexplored ...

Tandem Duplication‐Driven Neofunctionalization of UDP‐Glycosyltransferases Shapes the Diversification of Triterpenoid Saponins in the Cucurbitaceae

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a chromosome‐level genome assembly of Siraitia grosvenorii and, through comparative genomics, uncover a conserved UGT73 tandem array driving triterpenoid saponin diversification in Cucurbitaceae. Crystalized SgUGT73AM30 further reveals the regioselectivity mechanism underlying its catalytic activity.

Two-Sex Life Table Analysis of Frankliniella intonsa Reared on Nine Different Vegetable Crops in Guangxi, China

Agriculture
Frankliniella intonsa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a polyphagous pest that causes significant economic agricultural losses by damaging flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. We performed an age-stage two-sex life table analysis to evaluate the performance

Molecular evidences for population differentiation and the migration from south to north of Puccinia triticina in eastern China

Phytopathology Research, 2023
Wheat leaf rust is caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), leading to serious wheat yield loss in the world. To study the population structure and reveal the transmission routes of Pt in eastern China, leaf samples were collected from the main wheat-producing

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...
