Characteristics and Molecular Mechanism of Slow Vegetative Growth in Hexaploid Transgenic Poplar 741 With an Insect‐Resistance Gene

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploid plants frequently exhibit altered vegetative growth, yet the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study reveals that hexaploidisation of triploid insect‐resistant poplar 741‐line Pb29 significantly reduces growth rate, leaf area, photosynthetic capacity and organic matter accumulation.

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.

Transcriptomic analysis of the mandibular gland genes associated with reproductive dominance in Apis mellifera capensis Esch. parasitic workers

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Biosynthesis of the fatty acid components of the Apis mellifera mandibular gland pheromones takes place in a stepwise manner. Differential gene expression in the mandibular gland tissue of workers from two subspecies of African honey bees with differing reproductive potentials and at two age groups was investigated.

Hyperbaric Pressures Enhance Antioxidant Enzyme Activity and Suppress Grey Mould in Débora Tomato Fruits

Plant Pathology, EarlyView.
Hyperbaric pressures reduced conidial germination, mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea in vitro and increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes in tomatoes. ABSTRACT Hyperbaric pressures have been shown to be an efficient technique to inhibit physiological mechanisms of ripening, microbiological development and senescence in vegetables, prolonging ...

Re-mating consequences on the efficiency of the sterile insect technique

The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a biological control technique based on mass-rearing, sterilization, and releases of the pest species targeted for population control. Sterile males are released to dilute wild population, so that wild females are more likely to encounter and mate with a sterile male rather than a wild male, thus reducing the ...

Insecticide Resistance in the English Grain Aphid Sitobion avenae has No Impact on Luteovirus Transmission Efficiency

Plant Pathology, EarlyView.
Virus transmission experiments showed that Luteovirus transmission efficiency is not affected by the insecticide resistance status of the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae. ABSTRACT The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a significant agricultural pest in Europe that damages cereal crops by feeding on the grain and by transmitting viruses (e.g.

Managing infectious aerosols to counter engineered pandemics: Current recommendations and future research

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract In the increasingly likely event of an engineered‐virus outbreak or pandemic of catastrophic potential, managing infectious aerosols to reduce transmission will be crucial. Now is the time to start preparing our buildings, public opinion, and regulatory environments for the infectious aerosol management interventions necessary to protect the ...
