New work by Lingfei Hu, Christelle AM Robert, Tobias Zuest et al. on bioRxiv. Depending on where plants grow, secondary metabolites act as resistance or susceptibility factors against herbivores. Everything is connected! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In his New Phytologist Tansley Insight, Lingfei Hu discusses how multiple volatiles may be integrated into plant defense responses. An intriguing question. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Great to be part of this project led by @externelly Maize sensitivity to orally secreted Gln-18:3, a classic HAMP elicitor, corresponds with the FACS receptor kinase. FACS is a PSY1R homolog and confers Gln-18:3 sensitivity to N. benthamiana onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

New work by Meret Huber and colleagues from Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and Universität Bern shows that an insect digestive glucosidase is required for the deterrent effect of a plant defense metabolite. With contributions from Christelle AM Robert, Sandra Irmisch, and many more. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

Our new study in PNASNews, with Lingfei Hu, Christelle AM Robert and Tobias Zuest et al. shows that soil composition determines whether plant secondary metabolites increase or decrease herbivore growth. Multifunctionality in action. Universität Bern @uniofbern pnas.org/content/118/43…
