A Virus‐Inducible E3–RLCK–MADS Module Coordinates Suppression of Plant Immunity and Fertility in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viruses often hijack host developmental programs to promote infection, but the mechanistic links between reproductive regulation and antiviral immunity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a virus‐triggered hierarchical degradation cascade that links antiviral immunity and fertility regulation in rice. We show that the rice grassy

Drop‐Shaped Optical Microfiber Enabled Biomechanical Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel microforce sensor based on a drop‐shaped optical microfiber is presented herein, designed to characterize the biomechanical properties of single cells and microscale living organisms, achieving a force resolution of 24 nN. Leveraging its high sensitivity, facile miniaturization, excellent flexibility, and robust mechanical stability, this ...

On mathematical modelling of plant-insect interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Plants and Insects are studied since decades, but, most of the time, separately. In Agronomy, plants are studied in order to improve crop yields while insects are studied in order to control their (negative or positive) impacts on crop yields. It is well known that plants and insects are always in interaction but, surprisingly, they are very few ...

NLSS3 Impairs SHM1 Autophagic Degradation to Regulate Leaf Morphology and Salt Tolerance in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In rice, NLSS3 binds and shields SHM1 from autophagic degradation to maintain serine homeostasis. The A132P mutation in nlss3 disrupts this, triggering SHM1 loss, metabolic dysfunction, K+ imbalance, and impaired ROS scavenging, which collectively drive narrow leaves and salt sensitivity.

The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis megidis: host searching behaviour, infectivity and reproduction

open access: yes, 2001
Entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae have considerable potential as biological control agents of soil-inhabiting insect pests.

Cloning strategies for the isolation of an a-amylase inhibitor/endochitinase gene from the seeds of Coix lachryma-jobi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The aim of this work was to isolate the gene encoding a bifunctional a-amylase inhibitor/endochitinase protein from the seeds of Coix lachryma-jobi, a tropical cereal.

Starch, growth, and development in cuttings of rootstock 'Paulsen 1103' from plants infested with ground pearl

open access: yesCiência Rural
: The ground pearl, Eurhizococcus brasiliensis , is considered an important pest of vineyards in southern Brazil, with affected plants exhibiting leaf chlorosis, reduction in vigor, fading, and death. This study evaluated the quality of hardwood cuttings

An Embodied Paper‐Based Microfluidic Al‐Air Battery for Enduring Untethered Insect‐Scale Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a centimeter‐scale microfluidic aluminum–air battery (MFAAB) with dual‐surface anode and F−‐mediated byproduct decomposition. The design enables a high capacity of 2697.05 mAh/g Al and delivers tens of milliwatts to power LEDs, motors, and a toy car.

Rice Reoviruses in Insect Vectors

open access: yes, 2016
Rice reoviruses, transmitted by leafhopper or planthopper vectors in a persistent propagative manner, seriously threaten the stability of rice production in Asia.
