Nocturnal Lepidopterans as Essential Pollinators of Aspidosperma pyrifolium (Apocynaceae), a Keystone Tree in the Caatinga Dry Forest

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollination is a key ecosystem service, yet most studies focus on diurnal interactions, often overlooking nocturnal pollinators such as hawkmoths and settling moths. In arid environments, nocturnal pollination plays a crucial role in maintaining native plant species of high biocultural value, as seen in the Caatinga dry forest.

Transposable element‐mediated DNA methylation of the NAC20 and NAC26 promoters led to a maternal effect on grain filling

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice transcription factor genes NAC20 and NAC26 regulate grain filling and show allele‐specific maternal expression due to transposable element insertions and paternal hypermethylation in their 5' upstream regions. Geographical analyses showed that japonica varieties that originated at high latitudes carried these transposable elements.

THESEUS1 is a component of the receptor complex for establishing polytubey block in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
THESEUS1 (THE1) is a component of the CrRLK1L‐RALF signaling complex specifically responsible for establishing the polytubey block at the Arabidopsis septum. Genetic and biochemical analyses demonstrate that THE1, together with FERONIA, ANJ and HERK1, forms a receptor complex that senses pollen tube‐derived RALF peptides, thereby establishing a barrier

The Ambiguous Ecologies of Agri‐Alternatives: Exploring the Calculus of Social Reproduction in Rural India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances scholarship on agri‐alternatives by probing the gap between romanticised narratives of how alternative farming transitions ought to be and the actual practices farmers enact in their fields. Focusing on moments when such alternatives encounter on‐the‐ground realities, we propose ambiguous ecologies as a lens to explore the ...
