    Imidacloprid disrupts larval molting regulation and nutrient energy metabolism, causing developmental delay in honey bee Apis mellifera

    Zhi Li, Yuedi Wang ... Zeyang Zhou
    Molecular and biochemical methods provide the first evidence of toxicity of imidacloprid causing developmental retardation in honeybee larvae, highlighting the potential risks of prolonged exposure to insecticides during animal development.

    Separating phases of allopolyploid evolution with resynthesized and natural Capsella bursa-pastoris

    Tianlin Duan, Adrien Sicard ... Martin Lascoux
    A comparison between artificially created allopolyploids and natural ones reveals that the latter underwent significant evolutionary steps after their formation.

    Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

    Rachel H Parkinson, Jennifer Scott ... Geraldine A Wright
    Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

    Structural basis for kinase inhibition in the tripartite E. coli HipBST toxin–antitoxin system

    René L Bærentsen, Stine V Nielsen ... Ditlev E Brodersen
    Structural analysis of the HipBST toxin–antitoxin system from E. coli shows how a toxin kinase has been split into two proteins and encodes its own inhibitor.

    Tetraose steroidal glycoalkaloids from potato provide resistance against Alternaria solani and Colorado potato beetle

    Pieter J Wolters, Doret Wouters ... Vivianne GAA Vleeshouwers
    Chemical modifications of steroidal glycoalkaloids of potato can cause strong resistance against the necrotrophic early blight fungus as well as the Colorado potato beetle.

    ECS1 and ECS2 suppress polyspermy and the formation of haploid plants by promoting double fertilization

    Yanbo Mao, Thomas Nakel ... Rita Groß-Hardt
    The endopeptidases ECS1 and ECS2 regulate double fertilization and their modulation is a powerful tool for the induction of haploids and the formation of triparental plants, which are two agronomically relevant breeding targets.

    Mitochondrial MICOS complex genes, implicated in hypoplastic left heart syndrome, maintain cardiac contractility and actomyosin integrity

    Katja Birker, Shuchao Ge ... Rolf Bodmer
    Genes of the MICOS complex are a major candidate pathway to be potentially linked to defects in cardiomyocyte growth and differentiation in Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and relevant for elucidating the polygenic nature of HLHS and other CHDs.
