Confirming coevolutionary theory, monarch butterfly caterpillars show impaired growth and toxin sequestration when feeding on realistic cardenolide mixtures from their milkweed host plants.
Planthopper salivary carbonic anhydrase enhances a plant β-1,3-glucanase to suppress callose deposition, facilitating early viral establishment of rice stripe virus.
Genomic evidence from 15th-century Bolivian maize reveals similarity to Central Andean maize from Peru, and pre-Inca and Inca-era breeding that enhanced maize development through selection within Andean agricultural networks.
Short heat shock factor variants prevent hyperactivation of thermotolerance through a noncanonical heat shock response, thereby balancing heat stress response and plant growth.
