Insect–Plant Interactions: A Multilayered Relationship
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2020 AbstractDuring herbivory, insects recognize their host plant based on specific chemical cues, whereas the plants induce various chemical and morphological defense responses to resist this attack. However, the seemingly bidirectional insect–plant interaction involves various confounding aspects that influence the performance and fitness of the two ...

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.
