Pollination patterns in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1981 The influence of environmental conditions on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) floret characters and insects were studied in relation to pollination in this species.

A Complementarity‐Based Approach to De Novo Binder Design
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel method for surface complementarity detection (HECTOR) enables highly efficient docking and design of protein interfaces. Applied to therapeutically relevant targets, this method yields de novo binders with potent antagonistic activity. As a first‐principles approach, HECTOR offers a training‐free solution to the binder design problem and is ...

Inhibition of RNase to Attenuate Fungal‐Manipulated Rhizosphere Microbiome and Diseases
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fusarium graminearum uses its virulence effector Fg12, a fungal RNase, to manipulate the host rhizosphere microbiome and promote infection. Guanosine monophosphate (GMP) blocks Fg12's RNase activity. This reveals a key pathogen‐microbiota interaction mechanism and proposes GMP as a targeted strategy to disarm this core fungal effector, offering a ...

Form-function relationships in dragonfly mandibles under an evolutionary perspective [PDF]
, 2017 © 2017 The Author(s). Functional requirements may constrain phenotypic diversification or foster it. For insect mouthparts, the quantification of the relationship between shape and function in an evolutionary framework remained largely unexplored.

Control of insect vectors and plant viruses in protected crops by novel pyrethroid-treated nets.
Pest Management Science, 2015 BACKGROUND Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLITNs) constitute a novel alternative that combines physical and chemical tactics to prevent insect access and the spread of insect-transmitted plant viruses in protected enclosures.

STING COPII ER Export Trafficking and Signaling Primed by Phosphorylation Switches
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This schematic outlines STING trafficking and signaling via coat protein II (COPII)‐mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) export. Following cyclic GMP‐AMP (cGAMP) stimulation, TANK‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1) activates on COPII vesicles, partially dissociating into the cytosol to phosphorylate ER‐localized STING, creating pSGME/pFS COPII‐sorting motifs ...
