Carbon nanoparticle exposure strengthens water-relation parameters by stimulating abscisic acid pathway and aquaporins genes in rice

This study shows carbon nanoparticles improve rice growth and water use efficiency by enhancing the ABA pathway and aquaporin gene expression, leading to better stress tolerance.

Rapid long-distance migration of RPA on single stranded DNA occurs through intersegmental transfer utilizing multivalent interactions

This study investigates RPA's long-distance migration on ssDNA using biophysical methods, finding that intersegmental transfer via multivalent interactions enables rapid diffusion under tension.

Do more food choices lead to bad decisions? A case study in predacious ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta.

This study investigates whether varied food choices affect mating and reproductive success in ladybird beetles, finding that dietary history significantly influences reproductive parameters but not food preference.

Heterospecific physical interference modulates the reproductive attributes of a ladybird beetle

This study examines how the presence of heterospecific adults affects the reproductive output of P. dissecta through reproductive interference.

The extent of regeneration is impacted by the stage of amputation in ladybird beetles: a case study in Cheilomenes sexmaculata

This study shows that regeneration in ladybird beetles is stage-specific, with earlier larval stages regenerating larger legs and experiencing less developmental delay than later stages.

Effect of victim relatedness on cannibalistic behaviour of ladybird beetle, Menochilus sexmaculatus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

This study examines how victim relatedness affects cannibalistic behavior in different life stages of the ladybird beetle Menochilus sexmaculatus, finding stage-specific variations in cannibalism rates and kin recognition.

Limb regeneration modulates reproductive attributes in ladybirds: A case study in Propylea dissecta and Coccinella septempunctata

This study shows that limb regeneration in ladybirds affects mating behavior, copulation duration, and fecundity, regardless of body size.

Mating system modulates mate selection in aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Menochilus sexmaculatus

The study examines how the mating system influences mate selection in Menochilus sexmaculatus, finding that polygynous males are preferred by females, while males prefer monandrous females, with relatedness affecting preferences.

Effect of egg cannibalism on mating preferences and reproductive fitness of Menochilus sexmaculatus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

This study examines how conspecific egg cannibalism affects mate preferences and reproductive outcomes in Menochilus sexmaculatus, finding that non-cannibal individuals are preferred and that cannibalism impacts mating duration and fecundity.
