This study directly observes the feeding behavior of Plakobranchus ocellatus type black, revealing its diet, feeding posture, and ecological niche.

The paper identifies transcriptomic biomarkers to quantify SA and JA response states in Arabidopsis under field herbivory, revealing dynamic hormonal interactions shaped by herbivore abundance.

This study identifies key factors affecting field transcriptome model accuracy through simulation and validation with real data, showing gene expression patterns, sample size, and environmental coverage are most influential.

The paper examines the phylogenetic distribution and expression of atypical rDNA in Rhizophagus fungi, finding host-specific expression and variation enrichment in ES27L.

The paper reports the discovery of non-tandemly repeated rDNAs and their intragenomic heterogeneity in Rhizophagus irregularis, suggesting a link to adaptation and environmental response.
