Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Do Laboratory‐Reared Flies Perform Differently as Pollinators? Morphology, Behaviour and Pollination Performance of Eristalis tenax (Syrphidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...

GeARF5/GeIAA33‐GeSWEET14 module balances the secondary metabolic biosynthesis to increase the yield and quality in Gastrodia elata

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Auxin signaling regulates the formation of vegetative propagation corms in Gastrodia elata by regulating sugar‐acid interconversion, which in turn regulates polysaccharide and starch biosynthesis as well as biosynthesis of the bioactive metabolite gastrodin.

Electron microscopy‐based three‐dimensional subcellular imaging of plant male gametophyte

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Aquilos2 Cryo‐FIB workflows provide practical routes for cryo‐electron tomography and volume imaging in plant structural biology. ABSTRACT Understanding cellular events in three dimensions (3D) is of great importance for the annotation and illustration of biological processes in a contextual way. Imaging techniques based on electron microscopy (EM),
