Fat body lipogenic capacity in honey bee workers is affected by age, social role, and dietary protein

This study examines how age, social role, and dietary protein affect fat synthesis in honey bees, finding that older bees and those with less protein have reduced fatty acid synthase activity.

Genome-informed trophic classification and functional characterization of virulence proteins from the maize tar spot pathogen Phyllachora maydis

This study uses a genome-informed approach to classify the trophic lifestyle of Phyllachora maydis and functionally characterize its effector proteins.

The effects of queen mandibular pheromone on nurse-aged honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) hypopharyngeal gland size and lipid metabolism

This study investigates how queen mandibular pheromone (QMP) affects hypopharyngeal gland size and lipid metabolism in honey bee workers, finding no effect on lipogenic capacity but a correlation between protein content and gland size.

Analysis of cell death induction by the barley NLR immune receptor PBR1

This study investigates PBR1-mediated cell death in barley by showing that full-length PBR1 is required for hypersensitive response and that self-association occurs independently of AvrPphB.
