Entomopathogenic Nematodes Induce Metabolic Reallocation in Maize Roots Without Altering the Performance of Two Root Herbivores, Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica balteata

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8561-8572, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

S‐Methyl‐l‐Cysteine Sulfoxide: A Hidden Layer of Defences Against Herbivorous Insects in Brassicaceae

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8960-8969, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants defend themselves against herbivorous insects through diverse morphological and biochemical traits. Non‐protein amino acids (NPAAs) are an important component of the plant metabolome, although their defensive function remains largely unexplored.

Harnessing Camalexin as a Sustainable and Ecofriendly Strategy to Control Harmful Phytopathogens

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2463-2477, December 2025.
We review camalexin, a natural antimicrobial from Brassicaceae plants, which shows broad‐spectrum pathogen control and potential as an ecofriendly crop protection agent, with challenges and future directions. ABSTRACT Camalexin is a natural phytoalexin found in the Brassicaceae family, which has shown antimicrobial activity against diverse microbial ...

Characterization of WAC interactions with R2TP and TTT chaperone complexes linking glucose and glutamine availability to mTORC1 activity

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 11, Page 1771-1788, November 2025.
TTT and R2TP chaperone complexes are required for the assembly and activation of mTORC1. WAC directly interacts with components of TTT, R2TP, and mTORC1, and these interactions are affected by the availability of glucose and glutamine, correlating with changes in mTORC1 activity.

Evolutionary Changes of GT1 Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We investigated the evolution of glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) genes in 69 butterfly species to explore their association with host plant adaptation. Our results reveal frequent tandem duplications and adaptive selection in GT1s, especially in UGT33 and UGT40 subfamilies, alongside expression patterns suggesting functional diversification.
