Quinoa produces an insect molting hormone through a plant biosynthetic gene cluster

Sarah Lam, Anadaisy Aguirre, Marco De La Torre, Asaph Aharoni, Adam Jóźwiak

This study identifies a plant biosynthetic pathway in quinoa that produces the insect molting hormone 20E through a seven-gene cluster involving FAH and 2OGD enzymes.

Infants’ neural oscillatory processing of theta-rate speech patterns exceeds adults’

Victoria Leong, Elizabeth M. Byrne, Kaili Clackson, Naomi Harte, Sarah Lam, Kaya de Barbaro, Sam V. Wass

The paper compares neural oscillatory entrainment to speech in infants and adults, finding infants show better phase-locking at Theta and Alpha rates but less accuracy at slow phrasal patterns.
