Plant Biology, EarlyView.Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Shikimate Kinase Isoenzymes in Salmonella typhimurium
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968 Abstract A study was undertaken of the shikimate kinase activity of extracts of Salmonella typhimurium. Chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose revealed consistently the presence of two widely separated peaks of activity, the faster moving enzyme being more unstable than the slower moving, major enzymic constituent.

Silencing CHALCONE SYNTHASE in maize impedes the incorporation of tricin into lignin and increases lignin content [PDF]
, 2016 Lignin is a phenolic heteropolymer that is deposited in secondary-thickened cell walls, where it provides mechanical strength. A recent structural characterization of cell walls from monocot species showed that the flavone tricin is part of the native ...

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.ABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

Chemical control strategies for Poa annua in managed turfgrass systems
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short‐lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Effects of virus infection on release of volatile organic compounds from insect-damaged bean, Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
, 2003 Insects can serve as important vectors of plant pathogens, especially viruses. Insect feeding on plants causes the systemic release of a wide range of plant volatile compounds that can serve as an indirect plant defense by attracting natural enemies of ...

Stacking of a low-lignin trait with an increased guaiacyl and 5-hydroxyguaiacyl unit trait leads to additive and synergistic effects on saccharification efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Lignocellulosic biomass, such as wood and straw, is an interesting feedstock for the production of fer-mentable sugars. However, mainly due to the presence of lignin, this type of biomass is recalcitrant to saccharification.
