Herbarium specimens reveal herbivory patterns across the genus Cucurbita

Jenny, L. A. A., Shapiro, L. R. R., Davis, C. C. C., Davies, T. J., Pierce, N. E. E., & Meineke, E. (2023, February 13). AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY.

By: L. Jenny *, L. Shapiro n, C. Davis *, T. Davies *, N. Pierce * & E. Meineke *

author keywords: Acalymma; coevolution; cucumber beetle; Cucurbita; Erwinia tracheiphila; herbarium; herbivory; plant-herbivore interactions; pumpkin; squash
MeSH headings : Humans; Animals; Cucurbita; Herbivory; Insecta; Ecosystem; Biological Evolution; Plants
TL;DR: This study suggests that long-term evolutionary changes in habitat from xeric to mesic climates and wild to human-managed habitats may mediate the levels of herbivory pressure from co-evolved herbivores. (via Semantic Scholar)

Global cellulose biomass, horizontal gene transfers and domain fusions drive microbial expansin evolution

NEW PHYTOLOGIST, 226(3), 921–938.

By: W. Chase*, O. Zhaxybayeva *, J. Rocha *, D. Cosgrove * & L. Shapiro*

author keywords: carbohydrate binding module; cell wall; cellulose; domain fusion; expansin; glycoside hydrolase; horizontal gene transfer; plant-microbe interactions
MeSH headings : Biomass; Cell Wall; Cellulose; Gene Transfer, Horizontal; Phylogeny; Plant Proteins / genetics
TL;DR: Overall, expansins are unexpectedly widespread in bacteria and eukaryotes, and the contribution of these genes to microbial ecological interactions with plants and algae has likely been underappreciated. (via Semantic Scholar)

Complete Genome Sequence of EtG, the First Phage Sequenced from Erwinia tracheiphila

GENOME ANNOUNCEMENTS, 6(8).

By: A. Andrade-Dominguez *, R. Kolte * & L. Shapiro n

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the temperate phage EtG, which was isolated from an E. tracheiphila-infected cucumber plant, has a linear 30,413-bp double-stranded DNA genome with cohesive ends and 45 predicted open reading frames. (via Semantic Scholar)

Evolutionary Determinants of Host and Vector Manipulation by Plant Viruses

ENVIRONMENTAL VIROLOGY AND VIRUS ECOLOGY, Vol. 101, pp. 189–250.

By: K. Mauck *, Q. Chesnais * & L. Shapiro n

MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological; Animals; Biological Evolution; Environment; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Insect Vectors / physiology; Insect Vectors / virology; Plant Diseases / virology; Plant Viruses / genetics; Plant Viruses / physiology; Plants / genetics; Plants / virology
TL;DR: Available literature is synthesized to identify patterns in virus effects among pathogens with shared transmission mechanisms and the results are discussed in the context of molecular and environmental constraints on virus evolution, limitations of existing studies, and prospects for future research.
