    Metabolic consequences of various fruit-based diets in a generalist insect species

    Laure Olazcuaga, Raymonde Baltenweck ... Julien Foucaud
    Metabolomic analyses indicate that diet generalism may stem from a neutral metabolic response to different chemistries, rather than from an accumulation of specific adaptations.

    A viral protein promotes host SAMS1 activity and ethylene production for the benefit of virus infection

    Shanshan Zhao, Wei Hong ... Yi Li
    Rice dwarf virus Pns11 protein increases rice susceptibility to virus infection by enhancing OsSAMS1 enzymatic activity and ethylene production.

    Brassinosteroids control root epidermal cell fate via direct regulation of a MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex by GSK3-like kinases

    Yinwei Cheng, Wenjiao Zhu ... Xuelu Wang
    Brassinosteroids signal through a pathway involving GSK3-like kinases and the WER-GL3/EGL3-TTG1 transcription factor complex to determine the fate of cells in the root epidermis.

    Volatile DMNT directly protects plants against Plutella xylostella by disrupting the peritrophic matrix barrier in insect midgut

    Chen Chen, Hongyi Chen ... Peijin Li
    The natural volatile component DMNT protects plants from insect attacks by damaging peritropic matrix barriers in insect midguts, paving a promising way for the molecular breeding of plant protection.

    Benefits of jasmonate-dependent defenses against vertebrate herbivores in nature

    Ricardo AR Machado, Mark McClure ... Matthias Erb
    Uncovering an link between plant defense signaling and vertebrate feeding behavior suggests that large browsers may exert strong selection pressure on jasmonate-dependent secondary metabolites.

    A lectin receptor kinase as a potential sensor for extracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in Arabidopsis thaliana

    Chenggang Wang, Mingqi Zhou ... Zhonglin Mou
    Genetic and biochemical analyses demonstrate that cell-surface lectin receptors can potentially function as extracellular NAD+-binding receptors and provide direct evidence for extracellular NAD+ being a bona fide endogenous signaling molecule in plants.

    Transposons are important contributors to gene expression variability under selection in rice populations

    Raúl Castanera, Noemia Morales-Díaz ... Josep M Casacuberta
    Rice transposable element polymorphisms already present in the wild ancestors are associated with transcriptional variability and have been differentially selected in indica and japonica populations.
