Our recent work is published now.
For the first time, we identified the wheat volatiles emitted by wheat at two adjacent growth stages, preanthesis and postanthesis, which influence the oviposition behaviour of wheat midges.

Understanding stomatal regulation is key for future crop productivity. This research introduces the Combined Nitrogen and Drought Index, utilizing optical and thermal imaging for accurate water flux modeling in wheat.

Fantastic new work on volatile-induced responses in Arabidopsis.

- Initial green leafy volatile (GLV) perception occurs in guard cells (rapid pGC1::GCaMP3 response)
- Ca2+ increase is specific to C6 aldehydes but not other GLVs/terpenes/MeJA)

お待ちどうさまでした。I have been waiting for ~30 years to answer these questions. It took a 5-year collaboration with Chinese scholars and @ucdavis alumnus. Here are the answers: https://t.co/4EHSe9BuH6 Yes, the pheromone receptor gene expression follows a circa-bi-dian rhythm.

Ain’t no party like a blister beetle party. Blister beetles emit an aggregation pheromone, leading to this party on soybeans. They’re not really feeding on the beans and will move on soon. These black Epicauta blister beetles are known to eat grasshopper eggs too!
