Steroid Hormones Are Potent and Putatively Endogenous Activators of Human Bitter Taste Receptors
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Human bitter taste receptors are not only involved in sensing tastants within the oral cavity but also play crucial roles in internal tissues of the body. The current report identifies numerous structurally and functionally diverse steroid hormones as activators of the two human bitter taste receptors, TAS2R14 and TAS2R46.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Most Drosophila species, such as D. melanogaster, make one type of sperm, while the obscura species group produces multiple sperm morphs, with different total lengths and nuclear lengths. The pseudoobscura species subgroup produces three sperm morphs (one long, two short). This is a derived feature as other sub‐groups produce two sperm morphs.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective
