Rapid and widespread transcriptional plasticity underlies host shift in a specialist herbivore

W. Nate Collison, Syed Adeel Zafar, Simon Cornelis Groen, Paul D. Nabity

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

Amino Acid Substitutions in the Na+/K+-ATPase May Contribute to Salinity Tolerance in Insects

Perla Achi, Victoria Iglesias, Preston Christensen…·Adler R. Dillman

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.
