The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.

Wasps Beyond Bees: Crop Species of Spondias (Anacardiaceae) Vary in Floral Scent and Attract Different Pollinator Taxa

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spondias species are increasingly valued for their fruit production, which relies heavily on insect pollination. The flowers of these species are generalised, attracting a diverse array of insect visitors, including bees, beetles, flies, wasps and butterflies.

High‐quality genome of allotetraploid Avena barbata provides insights into the origin and evolution of B subgenome in Avena

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A high‐quality genome sequence of the tetraploid wild oat Avena barbata provides crucial genetic information for the Avena B‐genome, allowing clarification of the evolutionary trajectories of the four subgenomes within Avena and identification of numerous key genes related to environmental adaptability, thus offering valuable resources for oat breeding

Biopiracy and beauty brands? patent trends of cosmetics and skin care companies

open access: yesThe Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract Concerns about the fairness and equity of ‘biodiscovery’ research endure despite the creation of legal frameworks designed to regulate access and benefit sharing involving genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge. While some industries that engage in biodiscovery have been the subject of sustained scrutiny, others have received ...
