Gas5A, a putative glucanosyltransferase from Botrytis, functions as cell death inducing protein in plants

The paper identifies Gas5A, a glucanosyltransferase from Botrytis, as a cell death inducing protein in plants, showing it can trigger cell death both as a PAMP and intracellularly.

Ecological context determines whether inherited stress responses of hosts benefit or harm herbivores

The paper shows inherited stress responses in plants can benefit or harm aphids depending on metabolite type and ecological context.
