3,3-Dimethyl-1-butanol, a parakairomone component to Aleurodicus dispersus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

C-6-based green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are signal molecules to herbivorous insects and play an important role in plant–herbivore interactions. How isomerization of GLVs affects insect’s olfactory response has been rarely tested. In laboratory and field experiments, we examined the effect of hexanol isomers on olfactory orientation of the spiraling whitefly, Aleruodicus dispersus Russell, a highly polyphagous pest. In a Y-tube oflactometer, we found that (±)-2-hexanol, 3-methyl-3-pentanol and 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol significantly attracted female A. dispersus. The trap captures of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol were significantly more than that of (±)-2-hexanol and 3-methyl-3-pentanol, and its optimum concentration was 1 μ1/ml. We suggest that the anthropogenic compound 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol can be exploited as a parakairomone (synthetic analogues of kairomone) to monitor and control adult A. dispersus.

Association between the XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and risk of cancer: Evidence from 157 case–control studies

The T241M polymorphism in the X-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) had been implicated in cancer susceptibility. The previous published data on the association between XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and cancer risk remained controversial. Hence, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between cancer susceptibility and XRCC3 T241M (61,861 cases and 84,584 controls from 157 studies) polymorphism in different inheritance models. We used odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals to assess the strength of the association. Overall, significantly increased cancer risk was observed in any genetic model (dominant model: odds ration [OR] = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.00–1.13; recessive model: OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.08–1.23; additive model: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.08–1.28) when all eligible studies were pooled into the meta-analysis. In further stratified and sensitivity analyses, the elevated risk remained for subgroups of bladder cancer and breast cancer, especially in Caucasians. In addition, significantly decreased lung cancer risk was also observed. In summary, this meta-analysis suggests the participation of XRCC3 T241M in the susceptibility for bladder cancer and breast cancer, especially in Caucasians, and XRCC3 T241M polymorphism is associated with decreased lung cancer risk. Moreover, our work also points out the importance of new studies for T241M association in some cancer types, such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma skin cancer, where at least some of the covariates responsible for heterogeneity could be controlled, to obtain a more conclusive understanding about the function of the XRCC3 polymorphism in cancer development.     

Optimal stomatal conductance in relation to photosynthesis in climatically contrasting Eucalyptus species under drought

Models of stomatal conductance (g_s) are based on coupling between g_s and CO₂ assimilation (A_net), and it is often assumed that the slope of this relationship (‘g₁’) is constant across species. However, if different plant species have adapted to different access costs of water, then there will be differences in g₁ among species. We hypothesized that g₁ should vary among species adapted to different climates, and tested the theory and its linkage to plant hydraulics using four Eucalyptus species from different climatic origins in a common garden. Optimal stomatal theory predicts that species from sub‐humid zones have a lower marginal water cost of C gain, hence lower g₁ than humid‐zone species. In agreement with the theory that g₁ is related to tissue carbon costs for water supply, we found a relationship between wood density and g₁ across Eucalyptus species of contrasting climatic origins. There were significant reductions in the parameter g₁ during drought in humid but not sub‐humid species, with the latter group maintaining g₁ in drought. There are strong differences in stomatal behaviour among related tree species in agreement with optimal stomatal theory, and these differences are consistent with the economics involved in water uptake and transport for carbon gain.     

Overexpression of Arabidopsis acyl‐CoA‐binding protein ACBP2 enhances drought tolerance

Arabidopsis thaliana acyl‐CoA‐binding protein 2 (ACBP2) is a stress‐responsive protein that is also important in embryogenesis. Here, we assign a role for ACBP2 in abscisic acid (ABA) signalling during seed germination, seedling development and the drought response. ACBP2 was induced by ABA and drought, and transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing ACBP2 (ACBP2‐OXs) showed increased sensitivity to ABA treatment during germination and seedling development. ACBP2‐OXs also displayed improved drought tolerance and ABA‐mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in guard cells, thereby promoting stomatal closure, reducing water loss and enhancing drought tolerance. In contrast, acbp2 mutant plants showed decreased sensitivity to ABA in root development and were more sensitive to drought stress. RNA analyses revealed that ACBP2 overexpression up‐regulated the expression of Respiratory Burst Oxidase Homolog D (AtrbohD) and AtrbohF, two NAD(P)H oxidases essential for ABA‐mediated ROS production, whereas the expression of Hypersensitive to ABA1 (HAB1), an important negative regulator in ABA signalling, was down‐regulated. In addition, transgenic plants expressing ACBP2pro:GUS showed beta‐glucuronidase (GUS) staining in guard cells, confirming a role for ACBP2 at the stomata. These observations support a positive role for ACBP2 in promoting ABA signalling in germination, seedling development and the drought response.
