Development of a Stage- and Species-Specific RNAi System for Molecular Insights in Trichogramma Wasps

Insects
Trichogramma wasps, egg parasitoids widely used to control lepidopteran pests, have long eluded in-depth molecular mechanistic studies due to their minute size and genetic tool scarcity. While previous RNAi efforts were restricted to T.

Smelling the wood from the trees: non-linear parasitoid responses to volatile attractants produced by wild and cultivated cabbage [PDF]

, 2011
Despite a large number of studies on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), little is known about which specific compounds are used by natural enemies to locate prey- or host- infested plants.

Impact of a nonnative parasitoid species on intraspecific interference and offspring sex ratio

Scientific Reports, 2021
In an assemblage of multiple predators sharing a single prey species, the combined effects of the component species may scale unpredictably because of emergent interspecific interactions.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Stably transmitted defined microbial community in honeybees preserves Hafnia alvei inhibition by regulating the immune system

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The gut microbiota of honeybees is highly diverse at the strain level and essential to the proper function and development of the host. Interactions between the host and its gut microbiota, such as specific microbes regulating the innate immune system ...

A Decoy‐Receptor‐Armed Biomimetic Nanotherapeutic With Inherent Tropism for Conserved Pathogenic Macrophages for Treating Osteoarthritis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A biomimetic doppelgänger nanosystem neutralizes extracellular inflammatory cytokines and silences intracellular pyroptosis, reprogramming pathogenic macrophages to attenuate both joint and spine degeneration. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders driven by shared ...

Wolbachia infection facilitates adaptive increase in male egg size in response to environmental changes

Scientific Reports
Under challenging conditions such as maladapted biotic and abiotic conditions, females can plastically adjust their egg size (gamete or zygote size) to counteract fitness declines early in life.
