We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related
parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important …

To face future challenges in crop production dictated by global climate changes, breeders
and plant researchers collaborate to develop productive crops that are able to withstand a …

The inhibitory gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) system is involved in the etiology of most
psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and major …

Human brain structure changes throughout the lifespan. Altered brain growth or rates of
decline are implicated in a vast range of psychiatric, developmental and neurodegenerative …

The results presented in this paper describe the short- and long-term toxicity of arsenate in
Silene vulgaris. Short-term toxicity, measured as inhibition of root elongation, depended on …

Plants actively perceive and respond to perturbations in their cell walls which arise during
growth, biotic and abiotic stresses. However, few components involved in plant cell wall …

In response to a range of Cd concentrations, the root tips of Cd-tolerant plants of Silene
vulgaris exhibit a lower rate of PC production accompanied by a lower rate of longer chain PC …

Phytochelatins (PCs) are a family of thiol-rich peptides, with the general structure (γ-Glu-Cys)
n -Gly, with n = 2−11, induced in plants upon exposure to excessive amounts of heavy …

In most abiotic stress conditions, including salinity and water deficit, the developmental
plasticity of the plant root is regulated by the phytohormone auxin. Changes in auxin …

• The mechanisms of enhanced root to shoot metal transport in heavy metal hyperaccumulators
are incompletely understood. Here, we compared the distribution of nickel (Ni) over root …
