Our research demonstrates that in mirroring prevailing human biases towards different insect groups, LLM chatbots oversimplify insect diversity by predominantly restricting “bees” to honeybees and “wasps” to yellowjackets, neglecting the majority of biodiversity that includes wild bees and parasitoid wasps, while also favouring Nearctic species in ...

Epistatic modifiers influence the expression of continual flowering in strawberry
Until the 1970s, the majority of commercial strawberry varieties produced a single bloom of flowers. However, continuously flowering, everbearing strawberries are now routinely cultivated and use is increasing. Indeed, introgression of the everbearing flowering trait can lead to economic benefits for growers through the production of a continual crop ...

Engineered strategies for the allergic disease therapy
Allergic diseases exist widely across the globe and now there are very limited therapeutics for the treatment of these diseases. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in engineering strategies including nanoemulsion and hydrogel to improve the therapeutic efficacy of allergen‐specific immunotherapy with decreased side effects and long‐term ...

Pedigree reconstruction for triploid apple cultivars using single nucleotide polymorphism array data
Many economically, culturally, and historically important apple cultivars are triploids, which have three copies of each chromosome instead of the more typical two copies in diploids. Despite their prevalence and importance, there have been conflicting reports regarding their origin and their ability to beget diploids.

PolSpec: Polarisation‐Based Detection for Versatile, Cost‐Effective Rapid Hyperspectral Imaging
“PolSpec” is a fast, flexible, data efficient and cost‐effective technique for hyperspectral imaging utilising polarisation‐based spectral modulation. Using data‐efficient representation of spectral information on vector plots, it facilitates rapid visualisation and segmentation of spectral contrast to classify sample features. As a proof of concept, a

Neglected plant parasites: Mitrastemonaceae
Mitrastemonaceae are a remarkable family of parasitic flowering plants. The two species that make up this family have a disjunct distribution and a peculiar appearance. Both are devoid of roots, stems, and regular leaves and live inside the roots of their host plants for most of their life cycle.
