Tracing the evolutionary history of chemical warfare between plants and insects

A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution connects plant and insect physiology, chemical ecology, molecular function, and evolutionary analysis to offer a new perspective on plant–insect coevolution. The research team was led by Yu-Hsien Lin, Assistant Professor in the Global Agricultural Technology and Genomic Science Program (Global ATGS), International College, National Taiwan University, in collaboration with international research partners and Assistant Professor Ching-Wen Tan at National Chung Hsing University.
