Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

ZmMS1 coordinates ROS homeostasis, lipid allocation, and male fertility for maize breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Jasmonate biosynthesis regulates key events in barley vegetative and reproductive development

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Generation and general phenotypes of hvaoc mutants. Summary Cereal grain is a global food staple. Filial tissues in grain, such as the embryo and endosperm, grow embedded in the maternal ovule and surrounding ovary wall. Maternal tissues provide nutrition and protection but are progressively reduced and degraded as filial tissues expand, driving grain ...

Mutations in SUMO conjugating enzyme reveal contributions of sumoylation to plant stress resilience and yield

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mutations in small ubiquitin‐related modifier (SUMO) conjugating enzyme that increase or decrease functionality reveal SUMO contributions to growth and stress resilience. Summary Small ubiquitin‐related modifier (SUMO) conjugation is a fundamental process in all metazoa, with multiple roles in development and stress responses.
