Open AccessProteomics profiling of the honeybee parasite Tropilaelaps mercedesae across post-embryonic development
Tropilaelaps mercedesae, an ectoparasitic mite of honeybees, is currently a severe health risk to Apis mellifera colonies in Asia and a potential threat to the global apiculture industry. However, our understandi...

Open AccessDynamics of extrachromosomal circular DNA in rice
The genome’s dynamic nature, exemplified by elements like extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA), is crucial for biodiversity and adaptation. Yet, the role of eccDNA in plants, particularly rice, remains under...

Open AccessDysfunction of duplicated pair rice histone acetyltransferases causes segregation distortion and an interspecific reproductive barrier
Postzygotic reproductive isolation, which results in the irreversible divergence of species, is commonly accompanied by hybrid sterility, necrosis/weakness, or lethality in the F1 or other offspring generations. ...

Open AccessLife-history stage determines the diet of ectoparasitic mites on their honey bee hosts
Ectoparasitic mites of the genera Varroa and Tropilaelaps have evolved to exclusively exploit honey bees as food sources during alternating dispersal and reproductive life history stages. Here we show that the pr...

Open AccessExternal beam radiotherapy inhibits stent related granulation hyperplasia in rabbit trachea
Endobronchial stent exacerbates the formation of granulation tissue. Radiotherapy maybe a durable treatment option for granulation hyperplasia. In this study, we explore the results of external beam radiothera...

Open AccessGenetic introgression between different groups reveals the differential process of Asian cultivated rice
The Asian cultivated rice consists of two major subspecies: indica and japonica. There are already many reports about the existence of genetic introgression between the two subspecies. They propose some possible ...

Open AccessFertility costs of cryptic viral infections in a model social insect
Declining insect populations emphasize the importance of understanding the drivers underlying reductions in insect fitness. Here, we investigated viruses as a threat to social insect reproduction, using honey ...

Open Access3D-SLIP model based dynamic stability strategy for legged robots with impact disturbance rejection
Inspired by biomechanical studies, the spring-loaded inverted pendulum model is an effective behavior model to describe the running movement of animals and legged robots in the sagittal plane. However, when co...

Open AccessBoosting the electronic and catalytic properties of 2D semiconductors with supramolecular 2D hydrogen-bonded superlattices
The electronic properties of two-dimensional semiconductors can be strongly modulated by interfacing them with atomically precise self-assembled molecular lattices, yielding hybrid van der Waals heterostructur...

NLRs guard metabolism to coordinate pattern- and effector-triggered immunity
Pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants enable them to respond to pathogens by activating the production of defence metabolites that orchestrate immune responses1–4. How t...

Open AccessSubtelomeric assembly of a multi-gene pathway for antimicrobial defense compounds in cereals
Non-random gene organization in eukaryotes plays a significant role in genome evolution. Here, we investigate the origin of a biosynthetic gene cluster for production of defence compounds in oat—the avenacin c...
