Impact of plant breeding on the responsiveness of maize and wheat varieties to an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal symbiont

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Introgressed Brassica napus × Sinapis alba enhance resistance to the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Brassica napus lines with Sinapis alba introgressions enhanced resistance against Phyllotreta cruciferae, resulting in reduced feeding damage and improved seedling physiological performance. The introgressed lines showed strong potential as genetic resources for developing more resilient and sustainable canola varieties ...

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Melittin Reprograms Tumor‐Associated Macrophages Through CD18‐Mediated Immunomodulation

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Melittin selectively targets CD18 to deplete M2‐TAMs and remodel the TME to suppress tumor growth. ABSTRACT Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly the M2‐like subtype, contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and promote tumor progression.

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...
