Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

Genetic ablation of Immt induces a lethal disruption of the MICOS complex

Life Science Alliance
A new conditional mouse model deleting Immt /MIC60 reveals the necessity of this protein in vivo and provides an important resource for future research into the mitochondrial MICOS complex.

Prime Real Estate: Metals, Cofactors and MICOS

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Metals are key elements for the survival and normal development of humans but can also be toxic to cells when mishandled. In fact, even mild disruption of metal homeostasis causes a wide array of disorders.

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Taxonomic and methodological biases in saproxylic beetles: Body size, trophic group and detection probability

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Smaller saproxylic beetle species are described later and appear later in georeferenced databases, demonstrating a persistent body‐size bias that contributes to Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls. Trophic group, not body size, is the primary driver of detection probability in standardised flight‐trap surveys, with sapro‐xylophagous species detected most ...

Mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system promotes modular assembly of cytochrome c oxidase

Cell Reports
Summary: Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, complex IV (CIV) of the respiratory chain, is assembled in a modular fashion from mitochondrial as well as nuclear-encoded subunits, guided by numerous assembly factors.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis sheds light on the diversity and evolutionary history of the Neotropical and African Triplophyllum (Tectariaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We used a molecular approach to resolve the evolutionary lineages of Neotropical Triplophyllum, uncovering that current species circumscriptions are hindered by high morphological homoplasy in indument characters. Our results support the recognition of three new species and provide a necessary neotypification for T.
