Novel genes for insect resistance in transgenic plants [PDF]

, 1995
From a cDNA library of potato tuber, cDNAs for the potato carboxypeptidase inhibitors were isolated and characterised by DNA sequencing. One full length clone of each type was used to make plant expression constructs, and these constructs used to ...

Sustainable Management of Medicago sativa for Future Climates: Insect Pests, Endophytes and Multitrophic Interactions in a Complex Environment

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa, syn. lucerne) is an important forage crop for livestock, which is subject to attack from a range of insect pests and susceptible to diseases that can reduce production and persistence.

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Digestive enzymes of vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) as potential targets for insect control strategies. [PDF]

, 2002
Over the previous quarter century the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) has become a pest of horticultural and agricultural plants. The vine weevil is a polyphagous coleopteran insect and is able to attack over one hundred different plant species.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Seduced by the dark side: integrating molecular and ecological perspectives on the influence of light on plant defence against pests and pathogens. [PDF]

, 2006
Plants frequently suffer attack from herbivores and microbial pathogens, and have evolved a complex array of defence mechanisms to resist defoliation and disease.

ATZ‐1 promotes DNA replication efficiency to maintain normal meiotic function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Absence of ATZ‐1 interferes with meiotic DNA replication and cell cycle function via CHK‐1. This causes downstream defects associated with DNA damage and genomic integrity. Taken together, this study suggests that ATZ‐1 influences DNA replication efficiency and cell cycle function to maintain normal meiotic function.

Plant–insect interaction patterns in the late Neogene palaeoforest of Chotanagpur Plateau, eastern India [PDF]

, 2022
Plants and insects are essential components of terrestrial ecosystems and insect herbivory is the most important type of biotic interaction in these ecosystems alongside the role of insects as pollinators. Insect damaged fossil leaves are the only direct

Plant-insect interactions in changing environments [PDF]

, 2022
Interaktionen zwischen Pflanzen und Insekten sind für die Struktur und Funktion von terrestrischen Ökosystemen wichtig. Deshalb können Gleichgewichtsverschiebungen innerhalb dieser Interaktionen, oder deren Wegfallen aufgrund von anthropogen induzierten Umweltveränderungen weitreichende Konsequenzen sowohl in landwirtschaftlich bewirtschafteten als ...

Influence of Geometric Design on Mechanical Performance of Auxetic Metastructure

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Strategic geometric reinforcement transforms auxetic performance. This study evaluates 3D‐printed arrowhead metastructures, revealing that a modified design with local ring reinforcement suppresses premature failure to achieve superior energy absorption and structural efficiency.
