The paper shows that a plant immune receptor detects caterpillar oral secretions and triggers volatile emissions that attract predatory wasps, linking plant immunity to tritrophic interactions.

BAT constructs and annotates gene trees to explore functional relationships within gene families using local genomic resources.

The paper shows that natural variation in the expression level of the In11 receptor (INR) in common bean affects its response to the elicitor In11, but not herbivory resistance.
