We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

Summary We discovered a previously uncharacterized moss‐specific protein, Rosetta NATD‐MAPK 1 (RAK1) in Physcomitrium patens, which uniquely integrates MAP kinase (MAPK)‐dependent signaling with N‐acetyltransferase activity. Through phenotypical and biochemical analyses, we characterized RAK1 function in the regulation of the 2D‐to‐3D growth transition.

Decoding GUN1 in plastid‐to‐nucleus signaling: what it doesn't, what it does, and why it matters
Publication history of plant GUN1 research. Summary Plastid‐to‐nucleus retrograde signaling coordinates nuclear gene expression with the developmental and physiological state of plastids. GENOMES UNCOUPLED 1 (GUN1), a chloroplast‐localized PPR‐SMR protein, remains a central yet poorly understood component of this network.
