An Insect Salivary Sheath Protein Triggers Plant Resistance to Insects and Pathogens as a Conserved HAMP

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The salivary sheath protein myosin from SBPH is critical for the formation of the salivary sheath and feeding. However, myosin functions as a HAMP and triggered plant BAK1‐mediated PTI responses, which include the activation of calcium signaling pathways, MAPK phosphorylation, ROS bursts, and cell death, thereby triggering JA pathway.

Functional Divergence of Plant‐Derived Thaumatin‐Like Protein Genes in Two Closely Related Whitefly Species

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Two closely related whitefly species, Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci, are found to each possess a plant‐derived TLP gene, but with entirely different functions. This finding of functional divergence challenges the notion that HGT genes maintain similar functions across species and shows that they can follow unique evolutionary paths that ...

Direct and indirect phenotypic effects on sociability indicate potential to evolve

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 209-220, January 2023., 2023
A graphical abstract summarising the results of the article. Abstract The decision to leave or join a group is important as group size influences many aspects of organisms' lives and their fitness. This tendency to socialise with others, sociability, should be influenced by genes carried by focal individuals (direct genetic effects) and by genes in ...

The Cave of the Nymphs at Pharsalos

open access: yes, 2021
On the north slope of a hill called Karaplas, 1 km to the southwest of the city of Farsala (ancient Pharsalos), is a cave, well-hidden by its location on a small cliff and the surrounding vegetation. The site was first studied in the 1920's by the Italian Archaeological School at Athens.

Spider Eye Development Editing and Silk Fiber Engineering Using CRISPR‐Cas

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene editing represents an effective and precise technology to induce mutations in the genome, and it has been applied to a wide range of organisms for diverse purposes. However, CRISPR‐based gene editing in spiders has not been reported to date.

Chilli thrips rose management using an Amblyseius swirskii or Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) pepper banker plant

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1281-1292, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Banker plant systems can enhance biological control of arthropod pests in protected agriculture if they facilitate the persistence of beneficial organisms by providing them with persistent habitats or supplemental food such as pollen or nectar.

open access: yesParasite, 2004
Larvae and nymphs of Ixodes loricatus Neumann, 1899 ticks (confirmed by morphological characters and by comparison of 16S mitochondrial rDNA sequences) were collected from Sigmodontinae Wagner, rodents in central and northern Argentina and Uruguay.

Scaphoideus titanus fitness on grapevine varieties with different susceptibility to Flavescence dorée phytoplasma

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 146, Issue 10, Page 1260-1271, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Scaphoideus titanus (Ball) is a Nearctic leafhopper (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), monophagous on Vitis spp., naturalized in European vineyards since the 20th century. Following its introduction and establishment in Europe, S. titanus became the main vector of Flavescence dorée phytoplasma (FDp) to grapevine. FDp causes heavy economic losses
