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.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Plant community richness and foliar fungicides impact soil Streptomyces inhibition, resistance, and resource use phenotypes

Frontiers in Microbiology
Plants serve as critical links between above- and below-ground microbial communitites, both influencing and being influenced by microbes in these two realms.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

The function of the WRI1-TCP4 regulatory module in lipid biosynthesis

, 2020
The plant-specific TCP transcription factors play pivotal roles in various processes of plant growth and development. However, little is known regarding the functions of TCPs in plant oil biosynthesis.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Plant volatiles and components influencing behavior of the field slug, deroceras-reticulatum (mull)

, 1980
A new bioassay was devised in which slugs were allowed to follow trails of the aqueous volatiles isolated from plants by vacuum distillation. Volatiles from lettuce, carrot and dandelion induced greatest response.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Interaction between Medicago truncatula and the pathogenic oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches: effects of nitrogen nutrition and plant genotype

, 2015
Plants are under the constant threat of microbial pathogens. To defend themselves, plants have developed immune responses (including for example synthesis of antimicrobial secondary metabolites, production of PR proteins or reinforcement of cell wall ...
