Differentiation Trajectory of Virus‐Induced Tumour Cells in Rice Revealed by Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many plant viruses trigger abnormal differentiation and development of host cells, causing distinct symptoms. Here, in a single‐cell RNA sequence analysis, we find transcriptional heterogeneity between cells from rice leaf sheaths that are infected with rice black streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV) and from those that are virus‐free.

Influences of two coexisting endosymbionts, CI‐inducing Wolbachia and male‐killing Spiroplasma, on the performance of their host Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The small brown planthopper Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is reported to have the endosymbiont Wolbachia, which shows a strong cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) between infected males and uninfected females. In the 2000s, female‐biased L.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

RNAi efficiency, systemic properties, and novel delivery methods for pest insect control : what we know so far [PDF]

, 2016
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

Comparative Embryology and Transcriptomics of Asellus infernus, an Isopod Crustacean From Sulfidic Groundwater

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2025.
Individuals of Asellus infernus, a sulfidic subterranean population of the Asellus aquaticus species complex from southeastern Romania (left) and surface individuals of A. aquaticus (right). Extreme differences in phenotype are seen comparing the subterranean and surface individuals as adults (top panels) and as embryonic samples (bottom panels ...

Field Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Rice Expressing a Fused Gene of cry1Ab and cry1Ac from Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner on Nontarget Planthopper and Leafhopper Populations [PDF]

, 2017
In 2003 and 2004, field studies were conducted at three sites in Zhejiang Province in China to assess the impacts of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner rice expressing a fused gene of cry1Ab and cry1Ac on nontarget planthoppers and leafhoppers ...

Interaction between endogenous microRNAs and virus-derived small RNAs controls viral replication in insect vectors.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in resisting virus infection in insects. Viruses are recognized by insect RNA interference systems, which generate virus-derived small RNAs (vsRNAs).

Context‐Dependent Effects of Ivermectin Residues on Dung Insects: Interactions With Environmental Stressors, Size, and Sex in a Sepsid Fly (Sepsis neocynipsea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Veterinary medication residues in livestock dung, such as the antiparasitic drug ivermectin, can negatively affect insects that rely on dung for reproduction, impacting survival, reproduction, and ecosystem functions. This study on the dung fly Sepsis neocynipsea reveals that ivermectin exposure significantly reduces adult survival, particularly in ...

Lords of the flies: dipteran migrants are diverse, abundant and ecologically important

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1635-1659, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Insect migrants are hugely abundant, with recent studies identifying the megadiverse order Diptera as the major component of many migratory assemblages. Despite this, their migratory behaviour has been widely overlooked in favour of more ‘charismatic’ migrant insects such as butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.
