Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Mass irradiation of adult Aedes mosquitoes using a coolable 3D printed canister

Scientific Reports
In the last decade, the use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to suppress mosquito vectors have rapidly expanded in many countries facing the complexities of scaling up production and procedures to sustain large-scale operational programs. While many

Bidirectional Soft Catalysts for Improved Power Performance of Li‐S Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A soft polymer‐metal catalyst is integrated into the binder to create a catalytically active microenvironment that accelerates bidirectional sulfur redox kinetics in lithium‐sulfur batteries. A model polyvinyl alcohol‐Cu catalyst enables high areal capacities at demanding current densities and stable cycling in pouch‐cell prototypes at 0.5 C, achieving

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PEST RESISTANCE: AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF REFUGES [PDF]

Transgenic crops offer farmers a new and effective pest control option. However, the wide spread adoption of these crops could lead to a resistant pest population. This paper demonstrates how a pest refuge can be used to maximise the value of farm income

Enviromics and Abiotic Enviromics: Enhancing Stress Biology and Plant Resilience Breeding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental stressors are captured through high‐throughput envirotyping and integrated into an enviromic framework with genomic, transcriptomic, phenomic, and environmental data. AI/ML models enable prediction and guide marker‐assisted selection, genomic selection, genome editing, and gene pyramiding toward improved abiotic stress tolerance, yield ...

Rapid Exonuclease‐Based De Novo Sequencing Strategy for Long Oligonucleotides via Liquid‐Phase Ion Trap Coupled With Mass Spectrometry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A liquid‐phase ion trap (LPIT) coupled with ESI‐MS enables rapid, high‐fidelity de novo sequencing of long oligonucleotides in ∼30 min. By applying an electric field to dissociate metal adducts in solution, LPIT delivers clean spectra, superior mass accuracy, and full sequence coverage, surpassing MALDI‐TOF and LC‐MS.
