Structure-function analysis reveals an allosteric mechanism activating a plant immune receptor kinase complex.

Gene expression changes associated with polymorphisms in non-coding sequences of the flowering time regulator FLM directly influence flowering time in ambient temperature in Arabidopsis over an extended vegetative period.

Arabidopsis seed germination can be repressed by a Pseudomonas factor.

Plants detect the presence of phospholipids in eggs from a herbivorous insect and trigger innate immunity.

Young defense metabolites are often believed to be solely outputs but evidence suggests that they can regulate ancient signaling pathways.

A gain-of-function in a new chemical defense resulted in no trade-offs and and independent evolution between novel and ancestral defenses, suggesting low redundancy among different defensive chemicals.

Bees are at risk of consuming harmful pesticides found in nectar because they cannot detect them using their mouthparts.

The brown planthopper has evolved a highly adaptive oviposition strategy by exploiting caterpillar-induced plant volatiles that provide safe havens for its offspring.

Hybridization and introgression blur species boundaries and broaden genetic diversity available for adaptation; and widespread introgression underpins the evolution of races of the generalist pathogen Albugo candida that specialise on different host plant species.
