SlGRF1 mediates gibberellin signaling to control cut‐budding in tomato
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Upon wounding, cytokinin increases to initiate callus formation. Gibberellin enhances this, but later blocks bud formation by suppressing SlGRF1. Wounding‐induced protein SlGRF1 triggers buds via NAM1, EPF4, and ER2. Hormonal shifts control cut‐budding phases.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Ciência Florestal, 2017 Control programs for leaf-cutting ants of the genus Acromyrmex in southern Brazil are poorly studied and the information comes from the control of the genus Atta and the damage caused by leaf-cutting ants in Eucalyptus spp.

Two castes sizes of leafcutter ants in task partitioning in foraging activity
Ciência Rural: Task partitioning in eusocial animals is most likely an evolutionary adaptation that optimizes the efficiency of the colony to grow and reproduce. It was investigated indirect task partitioning in two castes sizes; this involves task partitioning in ...

Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance.

Leaf cutting-ants: Control methods and sustainability
, 2022 The fungus-growing ants belong to the genus Atta and Acromyrmex and individuals are causing serious damage to various types of plantations due to the habit of cutting leaves and shoots of economic importance for use in cultivating the garden symbiotic fungus colonies, causing serious damage. The ants attack is harmful at any stage of the cycle, but the

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Wild crop relatives are valuable genetic resources for improving stress adaptation in cultivated species, but their effective use depends on high‐quality reference genomes integrated with phenotypic and molecular datasets. Hordeum erectifolium, a wild relative of barley (H.
