Comparative analysis of diet-associated responses in two rice planthopper species

BMC Genomics, 2020
Host adaptation is the primary determinant of insect diversification. However, knowledge of different host ranges in closely related species remains scarce.

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

Interactions between brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) and salinity stressed rice (Oryza sativa) plant are cultivar-specific

Scientific Reports, 2020
Salinity stress triggers changes in plant morphology, physiology and molecular responses which can subsequently influence plant-insect interactions; however, these consequences remain poorly understood. We analyzed plant biomass, insect population growth

An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2694-2707, March 2026.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Carboniferous fossils enlighten the systematics and evolution of Hemiptera

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Fossils are witnesses to the evolutionary processes undergone by living lineages. The earliest occurrence of clades provides rich insights into the timing of diversification of lineages and better delimits the groups that compose them. Hemiptera are a remarkable order within the insects due to their high morphological and ecological diversity.

‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’: From infection to all‐round characterisation of distinct tuf‐type strains with different virulence in tomato plants

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 480-494, March 2026.
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ is associated with bois noir (BN) of grapevine and stolbur of solanaceous plants and is primarily transmitted by Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret. Four tuf‐a and five tuf‐b1 ‘Ca. P. solani’ strains were transmitted to tomato plants (cv. Micro‐Tom) by using bait‐plants and by capturing H.

Susceptibility to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Imidacloprid Is Linked to Life History Regulation in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a globally important pollinator. Its health in natural and managed populations is compromised by numerous factors, including pesticides. Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used even though they can cause a variety of detrimental effects.

Functional Dissection of a Wheat NLR Protein Reveals a Minimal Active Region and Key Regulatory Sites for Immune Signalling

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The coiled‐coil domain functions as the core signalling module of wheat NLRMoro, with residues 62–116 forming a minimal active region whose activity is fine‐tuned by intramolecular NBS and LRR regulation and key control sites. ABSTRACT Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) leucine‐rich repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) are crucial for plant immunity but often come
