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.

Electrospun Fibers for Solid-Phase Microextraction

Analytical Chemistry, 2010
A method of producing solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers based on electrospinning polymers into nanofibrous mats is demonstrated. Using this method the polymer mat is attached to a stainless steel wire without the need of a binder. While applicable to any polymer that can be electrospun, a polymeric negative photoresist, SU-8 2100, is used for ...

Domestication‐associated reduction of methyl salicylate in tomato root and its significance for resistance to root‐knot nematode

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Root volatile profiling reveals domestication‐associated variation in methyl salicylate (MeSA) accumulation in tomato. Summary Methyl salicylate (MeSA) plays diverse roles in the aerial parts of plants. By contrast, its biosynthesis and function in roots remain poorly understood.

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with all ...

Schiff Base‐UiO66 Composite‐based Dispersive Micro Solid‐Phase Extraction of Pesticides From Fruit Juices Combined With Dispersive Liquid‐Liquid Microextraction Prior to Gas Chromatography‐Flame Ionisation Detection

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT A dispersive micro solid‐phase extraction method was introduced using a Schiff base‐UiO66 nanocomposite as the adsorbent in the extraction of multi‐class pesticide residues in pear, cherry, grape, and apricot juices. The extraction procedure was hyphenated with a liquid‐phase microextraction procedure, providing a high preconcentration factor ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted by Fungi Have Substantial Effects on Growth and Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 7168-7190, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by certain fungi have previously been suggested to modulate plant development and their response to stresses. While some fungal species, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are known to produce VOCs, the production of VOCs in other phylogenetically divergent species, such as Mucor mucedo, was previously ...
