The effector NlOBP1b from the brown planthopper suppresses rice immunity by manipulating the OsCK2 complex
Monday, 01-06-2026 | 08:23
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial mediators in the peripheral olfactory perception of insects, functioning as a link between the external environment and odor receptors. Recent research has revealed their noncanonical role as salivary proteins that mediate plant–herbivore interactions, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the molecular basis of NlOBP1b, a salivary effector protein in the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH)

How Do People Perceive GM and Gene-Edited Foods?
Public understanding of genetically modified (GM) and gene-edited foods has been widely studied across different countries. While some research says that increased familiarity with genetic engineering is associated with more favorable views, various studies find that public attitudes tend to be shaped by a combination of perceived risks and benefits, trust in regulatory institutions, and the credibility of information sources
