ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Editing a gibberellin receptor gene improves yield and nitrogen fixation in soybean
Knockout of the soybean gibberellin receptor gene GmGID1‐2 reduced plant height; strengthened stems; increased the number of branches, nodes, pods, and seeds; and improved yield, seed oil content and nitrogen fixation. ABSTRACT Soybean is an important source of oil, protein, and feed. However, its yield is far below that of major cereal crops.

A GmNRF5a–GmCERK1–GmCAK1 module mediates chitin/chitosan‐triggered immune response in soybean
In soybeans, the GmNFR5a‐GmCERK1‐GmCAK1 module regulates immune responses triggered by chitin oligosaccharides and chitosan oligosaccharides from fungal pathogens. This reveals a shared upstream signaling mechanism for distinct microbial patterns and provides valuable genetic targets for improving broad‐spectrum disease resistance in crops.

The rice Raf‐like protein kinase OsMAPKKK72 acts as a scaffold to modulate MAPK signaling. To invade rice plants, the blast fungus delivers the effector AvrPib to target OsMAPKKK72, suppressing MAPK activation and rice blast resistance. ABSTRACT Phytopathogens, such as the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, suppress plant immunity for reproduction ...

Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...

ABSTRACT The soldier crab, Mictyris guinotae, is a dominant intertidal crustacean associated with sand flats in the vicinity of the Urauchi River estuary on Iriomote Island, Japan. We compared various aspects of its reproductive biology at two sites (the river mouth and upper reach) on exposed bare sand flats 300 m and 3000 m upstream from the mouth ...
