Ecological Genomics of Plant-Insect Interactions: The Case of Wasp-Induced Galls

, 2020
Plant-insect interactions are central to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics that shaped phenotypes and genotypes. Although the interaction between host plants and insect herbivores has been widely assessed, the molecular mechanisms behind it

Population-related variation in plant defense more strongly affects survival of an herbivore than its solitary parasitoid wasp [PDF]

, 2011
The performance of natural enemies, such as parasitoid wasps, is affected by differences in the quality of the host’s diet, frequently mediated by species or population-related differences in plant allelochemistry. Here, we compared survival, development

The Use of Engineered Plant Viruses in a Trans-Kingdom Silencing Strategy Against Their Insect Vectors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plants, plant viruses, and their vectors are co-evolving actors that co-exist and interact in nature. Insects are the most important vectors of plant viruses, serving as both carriers and hosts for the virus.

Constructing more informative plant-pollinator networks : visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community [PDF]

, 2015
Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Spray-induced gene silencing enables the characterization of gene function during pre-penetration stages in Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici

Frontiers in Plant Science
Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. As an obligate biotroph, Bgt is recalcitrant to stable genetic manipulation. Although host-induced gene silencing has

Antimetabolic effects of plant proteins on homopteran insect pests [PDF]

, 1993
Homopteran insect pests can cause severe economical damage to crop plants by both direct physical means and as vectors of plant viral diseases. They are notoriously difficult insects to control by conventional methods, primarily due to their ability to ...

The Altitudinal Niche-Breadth Hypothesis in Insect-Plant Interactions

, 2014
Studies aiming at explaining specialization along latitudinal gradients of plant-herbivore interactions have, to date, yielded inconclusive results.

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

The oldest plant-insect interaction in Croatia: Carboniferous evidence

Geologia Croatica, 2012
The feeding trace Phagophytichnus ekowskii VAN AMEROM, 1966 is recorded on Taeniopteris carnotii ZEILLER, 1888, a cycadopsid leaf, from the Lika mudstone (Upper Kasimovian-Gzhelian) of Croatia.
