Flooding: another abiotic stressor to consider in plant-insect interactions

Frontiers in Plant Science
Flooding is an increasingly important plant abiotic stress that is intensifying with climate change, yet its ecological implications, particularly for plant- insect interactions remain poorly understood and synthesized.

Insect gall occurrence in savanna and forest remnant sites of Hidrolândia, GO, Brazil Central

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018
In this study we perform an inventory of the insect galls in savanna and forest sites of Hidrolândia, Goiás, Brazil. We found 150 insect gall morphotypes, distributed on 39 botanical families and 104 plant species.

Plant signalling and induced defence in insect attack

, 2000
Plants can produce compounds which act as semiochemicals, that is, signals modifying the development or behaviour of other organisms without having direct physiological activity.

Adsorbent Materials for Hydrocarbons Removal by Geopolymerization of Halloysite Clay Nanotubes Filled Within Chitosan Matrix

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Alkaline activation of halloysite clay nanotubes embedded in a chitosan matrix converts bionanocomposite films into porous geopolymeric materials with enhanced adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons in both vapor and aqueous phases. The improved adsorption performance was demonstrated by the efficient capture of dodecane vapors and phenol from water ...

Rice stripe virus utilizes a Laodelphax striatellus salivary carbonic anhydrase to facilitate plant infection by direct molecular interaction

eLife
Plant viruses typically rely on insect vectors for transmission between plants, with insect salivary proteins playing critical roles in this process. In this study, we demonstrate how Laodelphax striatellus salivary carbonic anhydrase (LssaCA) promotes ...

The contribution of insect prey to the total nitrogen content of sundews (Drosera spp.) determined in situ by stable isotope analysis [PDF]

, 2003
The contribution of insect prey to total N in the carnivorous plants, Drosera rotundifolia and D. intermedia, was quantified in situ and without any experimental manipulation using natural abundance stable isotope analysis. Samples of D.

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.

Insight into the genetic components of community genetics: QTL mapping of insect association in a fast-growing forest tree [PDF]

, 2013
Identifying genetic sequences underlying insect associations on forest trees will improve the understanding of community genetics on a broad scale. We tested for genomic regions associated with insects in hybrid poplar using quantitative trait loci (QTL)
