Floral Trait Influence on the Foraging Decisions of a Fly Pollinator

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies foraging for floral resources provide important ecosystem services through the pollination of myriad angiosperms, including many crop species. However, the specific floral cues used by fly pollinators to locate and discriminate among floral rewards and the preferences they may have for specific cues remain poorly understood.

Effects of post-translational modifications catalysed by pollen transglutaminase on the functional properties of microtubules and actin filaments [PDF]

, 2009
TGases (transglutaminases) are a class of calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse the interactions between acyl acceptor glutamyl residues and amine donors, potentially making crosslinks between proteins.

Can Soil‐Dwelling Predatory Mites Control the Invasive Thrips Species Thrips parvispinus?

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thrips parvispinus (Karny) has recently become an important invasive thrips in crops world‐wide. It is highly polyphagous and a threat to both ornamental and vegetable crops. Often, new pests are controlled with chemical pesticides, but sustainable options such as biological control are in increasing demand as alternatives.

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.

Theorizing Cross‐Boundary Strategizing as Situated in Multilayered Supply Chains: A Strategy‐as‐Practice Approach to Supply Chain Management

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Supply chain strategy is increasingly recognized as a multilayered phenomenon, with firms strategizing not only within their own boundaries but across supply chain tiers, jurisdictions, and wider regulatory and ecological systems. Yet most existing supply chain management research tends to treat these tiers, jurisdictions, and systems as ...

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.
