UV‐Induced Fluorescence in the Balance: Mate Choice and Predation Risk in the Female Ornamented Jumping Spiders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential adaptive advantages of female‐specific UV‐induced fluorescence in male mate‐choice and predation risk, as fitness costs, using two species of ornate jumping spiders Phintella vittata and Ph. bifurcilinea. Our findings provide empirical evidence of a trade‐off: While fluorescence enhances male mate preference, it ...

The targeted metabolomic profile of laticifers in rubber tree

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Targeted metabolomic profiling of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) laticifers identified metabolites that were reprogramming by domestication, revealed active isoprenoid metabolism in the laticifers, and discovered loci with potential biosynthetic applications, supporting the potential of developing laticifers as bioreactors for production of valuable ...

Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant‐Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

A novel mosquito-borne reassortant orbivirus isolated from Xishuangbanna, China [PDF]

Virologica Sinica, 2016
In this study, we report a novel mosquito-borne reassortant Orbivirus species, which we named Banna orbivirus (BAOV). The virus was isolated from a Culex tritaeniorhynchus pool collected in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China in 2007. Whole genome and phylogenetic analyses revealed that BAOV is a reassortant of several Tibet orbivirus strains. It has

SBP‐Box Transcription Factor JcSPL9 Regulates Both Seed Yield and Oil Content in the Biofuel Plant Jatropha curcas

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jatropha curcas is a promising feedstock for biodiesel and bio‐jet fuels production; however, its seed yield is constrained by limited inflorescences. SPL9 is a member of the SBP‐box gene family that promotes the juvenile‐to‐adult phase transition.
