When caterpillars attack, the common bean plant relies on a receptor in its leaves to sound a chemical rallying cry that recruits predatory wasps, a new #ScienceAdvances study finds. https://scim.ag/434rXN5
A plant receptor detects caterpillar attack and triggers emission of chemical cues to attract predatory wasps.
