The Cellular and Subcellular Organization of the Glucosinolate-Myrosinase System against Herbivores and Pathogens

Qiaoqiao Lv et al.

Summary: Glucosinolates are important secondary metabolites in Brassicales plants, playing a critical role in chemical defense. They are chemically inactive but can be hydrolyzed by myrosinases to produce toxic compounds, forming the glucosinolate-myrosinase defense system. Research has revealed that Brassicales plants have complex biosynthetic pathways for glucosinolate production and different classes of myrosinases with distinct catalytic mechanisms and substrate specificity. Progress has been made in understanding the cellular and subcellular organization of the glucosinolate-myrosinase system, especially in the detonation of the mustard oil bomb after tissue damage caused by herbivores and pathogens.

Plasma Hsp90 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis and relation to lung and skin involvement: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study

Hana Storkanova et al.

Summary: According to the study, plasma levels of Hsp90 are increased in patients with systemic sclerosis compared to healthy controls, and are associated with increased inflammatory activity, worsened lung function, and extent of skin involvement in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. In patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease treated with cyclophosphamide, baseline Hsp90 levels can predict changes in DLCO over 12 months of therapy.

Foraging behaviour of Scymnus coccivora Ayyar against cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley

Sweetee Kumari et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the functional and numerical responses of Scymnus coccivora to cotton mealybug, revealing a Type II response in all developmental stages. Female predators showed the highest attack rate, while fourth instar larvae exhibited the highest predation rate.

Identifying Molecular-Based Trophic Interactions as a Resource for Advanced Integrated Pest Management

Jason M. Schmidt et al.

Summary: This study aims to review the current literature employing molecular analysis to reveal the roles of species in providing biological control in agricultural systems. The research findings suggest that there is still a lack of understanding of biological control communities in many agricultural systems, and new techniques utilizing DNA analysis can help integrate natural pest management into standard operating procedures.
