Recent Advances in Nanomaterial‐Based Light Conversion for Agriculture
Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.This figure illustrates three applications of nanophotoconversion materials for enhanced plant photosynthesis. These materials can directly target plant photosynthetic organs or be integrated into supplemental lights to optimize spectra. They can also be used in agricultural films to regulate sunlight for precise light control in protected agriculture.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Decomposer biomass in the rhizosphere to assess rhizodposition [PDF]
, 2007 Quantification of the organic carbon released from plant roots is a challenge. These compounds of rhizodeposition are quickly transformed into CO2 and eventually bacterial biomass to be consumed by bacterivores (protozoa and nematodes).

Toxins for Transgenic Resistance to Hemipteran Pests [PDF]
, 2012 The sap sucking insects (Hemiptera), which include aphids, whiteflies, plant bugs and stink bugs, have emerged as major agricultural pests. The Hemiptera cause direct damage by feeding on crops, and in some cases indirect damage by transmission of plant ...

Clover Root Curculio Injury and Abundance in Minnesota Alfalfa of Different Stand Age [PDF]
, 2017 Root injury and midsummer adult abundance of clover root curculio (CRC), Sitona hispidulus (Fabricius), was surveyed in 24 different aged southeastern Minnesota alfalfa fields. CRC presence was not detected in first year fields 2-3 months following stand

Facultative symbiont infections affect aphid reproduction.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Some bacterial symbionts alter their hosts reproduction through various mechanisms that enhance their transmission in the host population. In addition to its obligatory symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum harbors several ...

Masculinization of the X Chromosome in the Pea Aphid
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Evolutionary theory predicts that sexually antagonistic mutations accumulate differentially on the X chromosome and autosomes in species with an XY sex-determination system, with effects (masculinization or feminization of the X) depending on the dominance of mutations.

Aphid reproductive investment in response to mortality risks [PDF]
, 2010 Background Aphids are striking in their prodigious reproductive capacity and reliance on microbial endosymbionts, which provision their hosts with necessary amino acids and provide protection against parasites and heat stress.
