Effects of Geraniol on Survival, Reproduction, Endophytes, and Transcriptome of Tea Green Leafhoppers (Empoasca onukii)

Agronomy
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) serve as powerful defense mechanisms that help plants mitigate pest-induced stress. Geraniol is a HIPV released by tea leaves in response to damage inflicted by tea green leafhoppers.

Heterogeneity in the projections and excitability of tyraminergic/octopaminergic neurons that innervate the Drosophila reproductive tract

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Aminergic nuclei in mammals are generally composed of relatively small numbers of cells with broad projection patterns. Despite the gross similarity of many individual neurons, recent transcriptomic, anatomic and behavioral studies suggest previously ...
