I had the pleasure of talking to the good folk of the Wymondham nature group for an hour about the wierd toilet habits of sap sucking insects tonight. And my latest publication appeared in the village newsletter!

Come and learn about plant-aphid interactions and the mechanisms by which the Mp10 aphid effector protein interacts with plant immune signalling, my poster is P-158, I'll be manning it in the session on thursday. #ismpmi20025

There is a colony of aphids on the ragwort that are defended by ants. It seems that as well as fighting off predators the ants are carrying up soil and building a shelter for the aphids. Amazing behaviour!

By investigating the colonisation of Arabidopsis thaliana by the highly polyphagous peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae), we show that oligogalacturonide (OG)/DAMP-triggered immunity (DTI) effectively limits M. Persicae colonisation on Arabidopsis.
