Dynamic Roles of Insect Carboxyl/Cholinesterases in Chemical Adaptation
Insects, 2023 Insects have evolved several intricate defense mechanisms to adapt to their chemical environment. Due to their versatile capabilities in hydrolytic biotransformation, insect carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs) play vital roles in the development of pesticide

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Alteration and induction of plant secondary metabolites after herbivore attack have been shown in almost all the studied plant species. Induction can be at the local site of damage, or systemic, such as from roots to shoots.

Can Insects Develop Resistance to Insect Pathogenic Fungi? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Microevolutionary adaptations and mechanisms of fungal pathogen resistance were explored in a melanic population of the Greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella. Under constant selective pressure from the insect pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, 25(th) generation larvae exhibited significantly enhanced resistance, which was specific to this pathogen ...

Transgenic resistance to pathogens and pests [PDF]
, 2004 Pathogens and pests constantly threaten plants and cause crop losses of significant economic importance for agricultural production worldwide. One way to reduce the damage caused by pathogens and pests is the development of new, resistant cultivars ...

Generation of insect resistant marker-free transgenic rice with a novel cry2AX1 gene
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018 A synthetic cry2AX1 gene, consisting sequence of cry2Aa and cry2Ac genes, driven by green tissue specific rbcS promoter was used to develop insect resistant marker-free transgenic rice events.

Costs of resistance in insect-parasite and insect-parasitoid interactions [PDF]
Parasitology, 2002 Most, if not all, organisms face attack by natural enemies and will be selected to evolve some form of defence. Resistance may have costs as well as its obvious benefits. These costs may be associated with actual defence or with the maintenance of the defensive machinery irrespective of whether a challenge occurs.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?
