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

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.

Insect-flower interaction networks vary among endemic pollinator taxa over an elevation gradient [PDF]

, 2018
Interaction networks are sensitive to elevation gradients through changes in local distribution of interacting partners. Here, we use plant-pollinator interaction network metrics to assess the effect of elevation on flowers and flower-visiting insect ...

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.

Weather Variables Affecting the Behaviour of Insect Flower Visitors and Main Pollinators of Erythroxylum myrsinites Martius (Erythroxylaceae)

Sociobiology, 2021
Basic research assessing environmental effects on entire pollinator communities are still uncommon, particularly for rare and commercially unattractive plant-pollinator partners. We investigated the community of flower visitors of Erythroxylum myrsinites

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L.

, 2013
A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these

Molecular Mechanisms of Insect Resistance in Rice and Their Application in Sustainable Pest Management

Insects
Rice is a key food crop worldwide, but its yield and quality are severely constrained by insect pests. As environmental and regulatory restrictions on chemical pesticides grow, developing insect-resistant rice varieties has become a sustainable way to ...

New records, host, and plant symptoms description of the recently reported Delia sanctijacobi (Bigot) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) in Brazil

EntomoBrasilis, 2023
Delia Robineau-Desvoidy, composed of flies popularly known as root maggot flies, is a diverse genus with unclear delimitation. It comprises polyphagous species and some important agricultural pests. Delia sanctijacobi (Bigot) is native to South America,

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
