S‐Methyl‐l‐Cysteine Sulfoxide: A Hidden Layer of Defences Against Herbivorous Insects in Brassicaceae

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants defend themselves against herbivorous insects through diverse morphological and biochemical traits. Non‐protein amino acids (NPAAs) are an important component of the plant metabolome, although their defensive function remains largely unexplored.

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Presynaptic quantal size enhancement counteracts post‐tetanic release depression

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sustained high‐frequency stimulation decreases the number of synaptic vesicles that fuse per action potential at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. However, the postsynaptic response remains largely unchanged. An increased postsynaptic response to individual vesicles, likely driven by an increase in vesicle size resulting ...
