An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down‐regulating embryo development pathways

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Primary metabolites in root exudates are not affected by long‐term soil warming in a temperate forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Primary metabolites in root exudates are essential for plant nutrition and rhizosphere microbiome function, potentially responding sensitively to climate warming. However, the effects of long‐term soil warming on exudate metabolites in forests remain unclear.
