Now out in Science Advances. Inceptin Receptor helps attract predatory wasps in two years of field experiments. Next steps: can we tune both receptor recognition and volatile blend traits in crops + companion plants?
Adam Steinbrenner@ADSteinbrenner2 Aug 2025
How do predatory wasps find their caterpillar prey? In our new preprint on Biorxiv we show that the host plant's immune system detects herbivory to sound the alarm. 🌱🐛 See thread from @nataliagupa -- a surprising role for a plant PRR in indirect defense against herbivores.

Plant developmental genes share functions & expression, but align orthologs' promoters and often… no conservation. Or is there? In our new preprint, we show that conservation exists and is ancient, but was just obscured by genome complexity. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A deep-time landscape of plant cis-regulatory sequence evolution

Developmental gene function is conserved over deep time, but cis -regulatory sequence conservation is rarely found. Rapid sequence turnover, paleopolyploidy, structural variation, and limited...
