This study shows how Cardiocondyla ants regulate their symbiotic bacteria to balance nutrient needs across different developmental and environmental conditions.

This study shows that nematode infections in ants alter chemical signatures and provoke aggression, but do not affect nestmate recognition.

The paper identifies a larval pheromone in clonal raider ants that suppresses adult egg laying, linking offspring presence to parental reproductive suppression.

This study uses MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuata to associate genetic variation with leaf spectral variation, identifying a novel locus linked to red-edge and near-infrared reflectance.

Three CYP716 enzymes in Nicotiana attenuata catalyze distinct steps in triterpene biosynthesis, influencing growth and development through ABA and stress responses.

This study compares two Arabidopsis genotypes to show how immunity and bacterial recruitment interact to influence heat stress tolerance.
