In situ characterisation of whole‐plant stomatal responses to VPD using leaf optical dendrometry
Abstract Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) plays a crucial role in regulating plant carbon and water fluxes due to its influence on stomatal behaviour and transpiration. Yet, characterising stomatal responses of the whole plant to VPD remains challenging due to methodological limitations.

Cloning and functional analysis of promoter of TcALDH and TcGLIP genes in Tanacetum cinerariifolium
Natural pyrethrin is a green botanical insecticide that extracted from the aboveground tissues of pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium). Aldehyde dehydrogenase (TcALDH) and GDSL lipase (TcGLIP) are key rate-limiting enzymes involved in pyrethrin ...

A Comprehensive Multiomics Approach Illuminates the Biosynthetic Mechanism of Scoparone in Artemisia capillaris. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Artemisia capillaris, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, has displayed favourable effects in the treatment of jaundice, inflammation of the liver and cholecystitis for thousands of years. However, the biosynthesis of scoparone, the major active component in A. capillaris, remains unclear.

Plant terpene specialized metabolism: complex networks or simple linear pathways?
SUMMARY From the perspectives of pathway evolution, discovery and engineering of plant specialized metabolism, the nature of the biosynthetic routes represents a critical aspect. Classical models depict biosynthesis typically from an end‐point angle and as linear, for example, connecting central and specialized metabolism. As the number of functionally

Do topical repellents divert mosquitoes within a community? Health equity implications of topical repellents as a mosquito bite prevention tool. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Repellents do not kill mosquitoes--they simply reduce human-vector contact. Thus it is possible that individuals who do not use repellents but dwell close to repellent users experience more bites than otherwise.
