Sterol effects and sites of sterol accumulation in Caenorhabditis elegans: developmental requirement for 4alpha-methyl sterols.
TLDR
Non-random sterol distribution, the low concentration requirements, and the effects of 4MSs argues that sterols are unlikely to be used for bulk structural modification of cell membranes, but may be required as hormone precursors and/or developmental effectors.

First Report of the Pale Cyst Nematode, Globodera pallida, in the United States.
TLDR
The morphology of cysts and second-stage juveniles and molecular analyses established the identity of the species as the pale cyst nematode Globodera pallida, a new country record for G. pallida in the United States.

Fresh-market Tomato Production in a Low-input Alternative System Using Cover-crop Mulch
A low-input sustainable agricultural system for the production of staked, fresh-market field tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is described. The system uses winter annual cover crops to fix N,…

Research on plant-parasitic nematode biology conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service.
TLDR
Researchers of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the US Department of Agriculture are actively exploring fundamental differences between the biological processes of nematodes and their host plants to lead to new chemical and non-chemical alternatives to conventional nematode control strategies.

Caenorhabditis elegans utilizes dauer pheromone biosynthesis to dispose of toxic peroxisomal fatty acids for cellular homoeostasis.
TLDR
The results suggest that daumone biosynthesis is be an essential part of C. elegans homoeostasis, affecting survival and maintenance of optimal physiological conditions by metabolizing some of the toxic non-permissible peroxisomal VLCFAs from the worm body in the form of readily excretable daumones.
