Characterizing brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål, host plant usage and acceptability: Methodological strengths and shortcomings

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 403-416, May 2025.
We compared three tools for assessing invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), host plant usage. Baited traps were deployed to measure populations in tree canopies but found no differences. We tagged insects to track their retention on fruit hosts using harmonic radar; peach and baited apple trees were ...

From nature to nurture: Shifts in the gut microbiota of the brown marmorated stink bug under laboratory rearing conditions

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 435-441, May 2025.
The gut microbiota composition of the invasive pest species Halyomorpha halys was compared between individuals collected in the field and reared in the laboratory based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Alpha and beta diversity change significantly from field‐collected to laboratory‐reared individuals and continue to change over the different generations of

Nectar peroxide: assessing variation among plant species, microbial tolerance, and effects on microbial community assembly

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 1361-1376, May 2025.
Summary Nectar contains antimicrobial constituents including hydrogen peroxide, yet it is unclear how widespread nectar hydrogen peroxide might be among plant species or how effective it is against common nectar microbes. Here, we surveyed 45 flowering plant species across 23 families and reviewed the literature to assess the field‐realistic range of ...

Coupling Modelling and Experiments to Analyse Leaf Photosynthesis Under Far‐Red Light

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 3171-3184, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Leaf photosynthesis models are used extensively in photosynthesis research and are embedded in many larger scale models. Typical photosynthesis models simplify light intensity as the integrated intensity over the 400–700 nm waveband (photosynthetic active radiation, PAR).

Genome‐Wide Identification and Functional Characterization of New Serotonin N‐Acetyltransferases in Soybean

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Two new GmSNAT genes were confirmed to be able to synthesize N‐acetylserotonin or melatonin using serotonin or 5‐methoxytryptamine as substrates. The transcription levels of GmSNAT3.1 and GmSNAT3.2 were downregulated under conditions of dehydration and salt stress. SNAT3 genes from other leguminous plants were also identified.

Ultrasound‐Assisted Soaking and Solution Effects on the Anti‐Nutritional Quality and Physical Properties of Legume Seeds

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study investigates the effects of soaking method (ultrasound‐assisted soaking and conventional soaking), soaking solutions with varying pH (distilled water, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate), and soaking times (4, 8, and 12 h) on anti‐nutritional factors (phytic acid and trypsin inhibitor contents), moisture absorption, and hardness of ...

Purification, Characterization and Bioactivity of a New Homodimeric Lectin From Vicia Altissima (Fabaceae) Seeds

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Vicia altissima Desf. (Fabaceae) belongs to subgenus Vicilla, section Pedunculatae. It is a perennial herb that grows in wet ravines with dense vegetation in western Mediterranean countries. The only population that exists in Spain is under critical threat of extinction.
