The sex determination gene fruitless is essential for male Aedes aegypti mosquito swarming and attraction to female flight sounds

This study shows that the fruitless gene in male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is essential for swarming and attraction to female flight sounds, with its disruption causing loss of these behaviors.

The sex determination gene doublesex is essential for female-specific flight and hearing properties in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

This study shows that the doublesex gene is essential for female-specific flight and hearing traits in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by regulating gene expression in thoraces and ears.

A long-distance inhibitory system regulates haustoria numbers in parasitic plants

This study identifies a long-distance inhibitory system in parasitic plants that regulates haustoria numbers via cytokinin signaling.

Inducible degradation of endogenous proteins by AlissAID system and development of a photoactivatable inducer.

The paper introduces an improved AID system for efficient endogenous protein degradation and develops a photoactivatable inducer for light-controlled protein knockdown.

Development of bright fluorescent auxin

This study develops a fluorescent auxin probe, BODIPY-IAA2, which visualizes auxin distribution in plants without activating auxin signaling.
