Natural soil suppressiveness against soilborne phytopathogens extends to the control of insect pest

The paper shows that soil suppressive against plant pathogens also controls insect pests by reducing plant stress responses and altering microbiome dynamics.

Revival of traditional agricultural systems A multidisciplinary on-farm survey of maize-bean intercropping reveals unexpected competition effects on beans.

This study investigates maize-bean intercropping through on-farm surveys and field assays, finding competition dominates over cooperation, primarily affecting bean yield and gene expression.

ANKRD26 is a new regulator of type I cytokine receptor signaling in normal and pathological hematopoiesis

This study identifies ANKRD26 as a regulator of type I cytokine receptor signaling in hematopoiesis, showing its role in progenitor proliferation and differentiation.

Warmer temperatures result in maladaptive learning of sexual preferences

This study shows that warmer temperatures disrupt sexual preference learning in butterflies, leading to maladaptive mating choices and reduced female fitness.

The nucleus acts as a ruler tailoring cell responses to spatial constraints

The paper shows that the nucleus acts as a ruler by triggering contractile responses when confined, influencing cell migration and processes like cancer invasion and immune responses.

Conditional control of fluorescent protein degradation by an auxin-dependent nanobody

This paper develops an AID-nanobody system for conditional and reversible degradation of GFP-tagged proteins in human cells and zebrafish, demonstrating its use on APC/C.

Ancestral genome estimation reveals the history of ecological diversification in Agrobacterium.

The paper estimates the ancestral genome history of Agrobacterium biovar 1 to reveal how horizontal gene transfer contributed to ecological diversification.
