Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

Sugarcane-Based Biofuels and Bioproducts

, 2016
Sugarcane has garnered much interest for its potential as a viable renewable energy crop. While the use of sugar juice for ethanol production has been in practice for years, a new focus on using the fibrous co-product known as bagasse for producing ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Unreachable, Inescapable: Sustainable Development as Normative Camouflage in EU–MERCOSUR Trade

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how sustainable development functions as a mechanism of stabilising asymmetry in North–South trade governance, using the European Union (EU)–Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) agreement as a case study. Whilst sustainability is often framed as a normative good or institutional advance, the article shows instead how it ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Sugarcane breeding array 1.0: A high‐density SNP chip for genomic studies and molecular breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Sugarcane Breeding Array 1.0, a high‐density single‐nucleotide polymorphism array, is based on deep whole‐genome resequencing of diverse sugarcane accessions. Validation demonstrated its robust performance and cost‐effectiveness in population structure analysis, genome‐wide association studies, and molecular breeding applications.

Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.

Ploughing for Justice: Land Return, Clientelism and Citizenship in Central Burma

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article asks if clientelism is a form of citizenship in an agrarian society under military domination. It focuses on the efforts made by villagers in central Burma to recover land previously grabbed by force by the military state. A promise of land return during the political transition of the 2010s enabled dispossessed farmers to define ...
