An insightful read! Manipulating stomatal aperture by silencing StSLAC1 affects potato plant–herbivore–parasitoid tritrophic interactions under drought stress - He - New Phytologist - Wiley Online Library https://t.co/yQxq29RFAH
Congratulations 🎉@AsimMunawar62 and team.

@moniquejrivera @Chemistophe He had already seen the paper..lol...
Christoph, are you particularly interested in bioluminescence as well? We can talk about this for sure!

[Ricardo AR Machado @Machado_RAR]

Glowing belowground...Have you ever wondered about the ecological relevance of Photorhabdus bioluminescence?

@moniquejrivera Thanks a lot Monique!

I am seeking a PhD student and a Post-Doctoral researcher to work on plant defense modulation by herbivore natural enemies. Please RT: https://t.co/x2L9wmFbli @unibern #chemicalecology #molecularecology #tritrophicinteractions

What are the genes and metabolites that are relevant for foraging by a root herbivore? Read our study to find it out! https://t.co/cenSIP89wf

It is indeed great to know that @tobiaszuest great science on plant herbivore interactions is now supported by the ERC through an Stg grant. Looking forward to know about his new discoveries.

[Tobias Zuest @tobiaszuest]

I am very pleased and thankful to have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant to continue my research into the evolution of novel chemical plant defenses and its consequences for plant herbivore interactions! @ERC_Research #ERCStG

[Matthias Erb @Matthias__Erb]

Fantastic news for the Institute of Plant Sciences and @OneHealthUniBe at @UniofBern @unibern. Chemical ecology is off to new shores. Congratulations, Christelle!

[Ricardo AR Machado @Machado_RAR]

Happy to know that @CAM_Robert_Bern will continue doing her great science and bringing tritrophic interactions research to a new level supported by an ERC grant. Looking forward to know about her new discoveries!

[Universität Bern @unibern]

Congratulations to the four researchers @AlnabhaniZ , @CAM_Robert_Bern , @TomSolomek & Christoph Oberlack of #unibern, who will each receive one of the coveted 1.5 million Euro "Starting Grants" from @ERC_Research. https://t.co/dWDxFrL0Nt

Plant sugars and benzoxazinoids are important for root herbivore foraging and feeding behaivour.

We have an open PhD position on the genomics of plant toxin resistance. Come work with us and discover the mechanisms underlying the success of biological control agents. P.S. We welcome and cherish diversity in all its forms.

[Matthias Erb @Matthias__Erb]

Thanks to very constructive input from the @eLife board of editors and the unwavering commitment of @Machado_RAR, our study on the use of CO2 as a host quality assessment cue by a root herbivore got a major experimental upgrade.

The second paper from my Ph.D. is now on the preprint. We investigated the direct combined impacts of changes in CO2, temperature, and precipitation on four major groups of natural enemies of insect herbivores:

[Matthias Erb @Matthias__Erb]

New preprint from the lab (work led by @Machado_RAR). Herbivores integrate primary and secondary metabolites to navigate complex host metabolomes. Combining plant genetics and insect RNAi allows for detailed insights into this phenomenon.

[Ricardo AR Machado @Machado_RAR]

Root herbivores integrate different volatile cues to make relevant foraging decisions. CO2 acts in a distance specific manner, as we found out observing WCR larval behaviour.
