[EN] Wounded leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana show transient immunity to Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of grey mould. Using a fluorescent probe, histological staining and a luminol assay, we now show that reactive oxygen ...
[EN] Ectoparasite acari increases their size several orders of magnitude during feeding. Find out the mechanism through which the young stiff cuticle increases its volume, could be useful to develop novel formulations that ...
