The paper uses co-transcriptomic analysis to identify genes affecting parasite fitness in host-parasite interactions.

This study shows that the specialist aphid Daktulosphaira vitifoliae exhibits rapid transcriptional plasticity and epigenetic stability when shifting to new host plants.

This study presents the genome and transcriptome of Pratylenchus vulnus, revealing evolutionary relationships, genomic features, and parasitism-related genes in a woody-plant nematode.

This study investigates whether amino acid substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase contribute to salt tolerance in insects using gene-edited Drosophila models, finding that some substitutions enhance tolerance while others do not.

This study investigates whether two amino acid substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase of Steinernema carpocapsae contribute to its salt tolerance compared to congeners, finding negative epistasis between the substitutions.

This study shows cardenolides in milkweeds reduce root-knot nematode reproduction and cause neurotoxic effects, suggesting they defend plants against these pests.

The paper evaluates latitudinal variation in aggressiveness of root-knot nematode populations on Mi-1 tomato cultivars, finding a negative correlation between latitude and reproduction factor.

This study investigates how environmental stress affects developmental stability and canalization in rice, finding that drought reduces canalization and identifies specific genes involved.

This study identifies alternative splicing of TRPA1 as a key mechanism driving reduced electrophile sensitivity in S. flava, enabling adaptation to toxic Brassicales plants.

The paper links gene expression variation to fitness in C. elegans, identifying genes under directional selection and showing how GRN structure influences selection pressures.

The paper identifies genetic trade-offs in rice defense against above- and belowground attackers through analysis of KSL8 and MG1 loci.
