Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Discovery and Characterization of Guanylate Cyclase Receptors in Manduca sexta [PDF]
, 2018 Natriuretic peptide receptors are very important in mammals for controlling water homeostasis in the body. It is possible that during evolution, these receptors played a key role in the process, by which animals moved from the sea to the land. Until now,

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 The term programmed cell death (PCD) was coined in 1965 to describe the loss of the intersegmental muscles (ISMs) of moths at the end of metamorphosis.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.Abstract Global species observations from community science platforms offer an unprecedented opportunity to analyze large‐scale patterns of biodiversity. This holds great promise for developing data‐driven metrics to measure species' responses to landscape‐level environmental changes, essential for ameliorating the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Novel genes for insect resistance in transgenic plants [PDF]
, 1995 From a cDNA library of potato tuber, cDNAs for the potato carboxypeptidase inhibitors were isolated and characterised by DNA sequencing. One full length clone of each type was used to make plant expression constructs, and these constructs used to ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Skeletal muscles are the largest cells in the body and are one of the few syncytial ones. There is a longstanding belief that a given nucleus controls a defined volume of cytoplasm, so when a muscle grows (hypertrophy) or shrinks (atrophy), the number of

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Induced defense chemicals in plants determine the community structure of different insect (herbivore) groups. In particular, specialists are endemic and generalists are non‐endemic in the wild because of the ecological roles of induced secondary metabolites.
