What happens to plant metabolites when they are consumed by insect herbivores? Led by Adri Jeckel and Christelle AM Robert, we provide a comprehensive review of current and new methods to study PSM fate. We hope this will be a useful ressource to many!

Erik van Bergen presenting our #CARDEVOL project on the evolution of cardenolide resistance in Plutella moths at #ESEB2022. Great progress, more to come in the future!

Happy to shared our review about plant volatile perception fresh in the Essays in Biochemistry Portland Press doi.org/10.1042/EBC202… In this review, Matthias Matthias Erb and I summarize the latest research about what defines a plant's nose 1/5
