Scaling use of the rust fungus Puccinia punctiformis for biological control of Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.): First report on a U.S. statewide effort

This study reports on an 8-year monitoring effort of a biological control program using the rust fungus Puccinia punctiformis to reduce Canada thistle stem densities in Colorado, finding declines linked to environmental factors and inoculum deployment.

Reduced Dimension, Biophysical Neuron Models Constructed From Observed Data

This paper constructs reduced dimension biophysical neuron models from observed data, showing they can accurately predict neuron properties and be used in network simulations.

Legume plant defenses and nutrients mediate indirect interactions between soil rhizobia and chewing herbivores

This study shows that chewing herbivores interact with soil rhizobia through plant-mediated pathways, affecting both herbivore feeding and rhizobial symbiosis.

Plant responses to multiple antagonists are mediated by order of attack and phytohormone crosstalk

This study shows that plant responses to multiple antagonists depend on attack order and phytohormone interactions, with some interactions being antagonistic and others synergistic.

Predators affect a plant virus through direct and trait-mediated indirect effects on vectors

The paper shows predators affect plant virus transmission through both direct consumption of aphids and indirect effects on aphid behavior and movement.

Discovery of NOvel CIP2A VAriant (NOCIVA) and its clinical relevance in myeloid leukemias

The paper discovers a novel CIP2A splicing variant, NOCIVA, which is overexpressed in myeloid leukemias and correlates with poor clinical outcomes.
