The Occurrence and Diversity of Viruses Identified in Monocotyledonous Weeds by Evans Duah Agyemang, Rita Ofosu, Francesco Desiderio, Zsuzsanna Nagyne Galbacs, András Péter Takács, Éva Várallyay

“…In this review, we collected the current information on viruses presenting in the most important monocotyledonous weeds: <i>Echinocloa crus-galli</i>, <i>Setaria viridis</i>, <i>Cynodon dactylon</i>, <i>Sorghum halepense</i> and millet species growing as weeds. Identifying plant viruses in monocotyledonous weed hosts provides more information about viral infection flow and guides the development of management strategies for safeguarding our field crops.…”

Coupling of mitochondrial state with active zone plasticity in early brain aging by Lu Fei, Yongtian Liang, Ulrich Kintscher, Stephan J. Sigrist

“…While the two organelles are spaced in close proximity, likely reflecting a direct functional coupling in regard to ATP and Ca2+ homeostasis, the exact modes of coupling in the aging process remain to understood.We here show that genetic manipulations of mitochondrial functional status, which alters brain oxidative phosphorylation, ATP levels, or the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), can bidirectionally regulate PreScale during early Drosophila brain aging. …”

Antipredator behaviour in semi-feral horses: innate response and the influence of external factors by Antoine Bercy, Francisco Ceacero, Martina Komárková

“…Domestic horses are becoming integral to such ungulates’ biomass, but they may differ from truly wild species due to their domesticated origin. This raises concerns about whether feral horses retain adequate antipredator behaviours, especially in the presence of expanding, large predators like wolves. …”
