The paper introduces a method using UV-Vis spectra to measure compound dissimilarity in plants, improving chemodiversity analysis by capturing compound relatedness without requiring compound identity.

This study examines common and species-specific responses of phytohormones and morphological traits to drought and herbivory in three plant species, revealing shared and unique regulatory pathways.

The paper shows that different systemin peptides recruit specific SERK co-receptors, leading to distinct signaling responses in tomato plants.
