Aphids: Developmental Stages and Morphological Adaptations

Aphids: Developmental Stages and Morphological Adaptations Aphids, small sap-sucking insects, exhibit remarkable adaptability through their diverse developmental stages and morphological forms, collectively referred to as morphs. These morphs, which include winged (alate) and unwinged (apterous) forms, are not static but are dynamically shaped by environmental conditions such as overcrowding and food availability. Each morph serves […]

Plant Science with a Focus on Small Proteins.

Introduction Symmetry breaking is a fundamental biological process that drives the development of complex structures from initial symmetrical forms. In plants, this phenomenon is particularly evident during flower development, where radial symmetry (actinomorphy) or bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) emerges, contributing to the vast diversity of floral forms observed in nature (Coen & Meyerowitz, 1991). Understanding the
