The Predatory Stink Bug Arma custos (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Produces a Complex Proteinaceous Venom to Overcome Caterpillar Prey

Biology, 2023
Predatory stink bugs capture prey by injecting salivary venom from their venom glands using specialized stylets. Understanding venom function has been impeded by a scarcity of knowledge of their venom composition.

Transcriptomic signatures of neuronal differentiation and their association with risk genes for autism spectrum and related neuropsychiatric disorders. [PDF]

, 2016
Genes for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are also implicated in fragile X syndrome (FXS), intellectual disabilities (ID) or schizophrenia (SCZ), and converge on neuronal function and differentiation. The SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line, the most widely

Comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals mechanisms of selenium-regulated anthocyanin synthesis in waxy maize (Zea mays L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science
Anthocyanins in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels determine the plant’s color and can enhance its resistance. Selenium (Se) significantly impacts plant growth, development, and secondary metabolic regulation.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Cross-species analysis of abiotic stress in hydroponic leafy crops reveals conserved regulatory networks and key divergences

Frontiers in Plant Science
Hydroponics is emerging as a vital method for producing resilient leafy greens in controlled environments. To systematically capture how hydroponically grown crops respond to stress, we subjected three species—cai xin, lettuce, and spinach—to 24 ...
