Scientific perspectives on in vivo developmental neurotoxicity testing: study design, regulatory context, and future directions

Developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) potential of (agro)chemicals is assessed in rodents according to OECD Test Guidelines (TG) 426 (DNT) or 443 (Extended One-Generation Reproductive Toxicity; EOGRTS) incorporating a DNT cohort. While the EOGRTS evaluates reproductive and neurotoxic...

Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) as an intermediate crop improves summer-crop yield, soil health, and soil carbon with limited greenhouse gas trade-offs: a meta-analysis

Global demand for biofuels is increasing, intensifying concerns about land competition among food, feed, and fuel production in temperate row‑crop systems. Intermediate crops grown during otherwise fallow periods offer a strategy to expand biofuel feedstock supply while limiting...

Direct avirulence effector-receptor interaction confers wheat immunity against insects

Wheat immunity against the global pest Hessian fly operates on a gene-for-gene basis, yet molecular mechanisms underlying resistance-avirulence interactions have remained elusive for over five decades due to the absence of any cloned insect-resistance gene. Here, we cloned the H1...
