On the use of ultraviolet photography and ultraviolet wing patterns in butterfly morphology and taxonomy [PDF]
, 2000 In a series of feeding experiments we found that, depending on the larval food plant species or part of food plant ingested, individuals of the blue butterfly Polyommatus icarus (Lycaenidae) exhibit broad variation of wing patterns in the ultraviolet (UV)

A Specific Sinorhizobium Flagellin Suppresses Legume Nodulation Through Immune Activation
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bacterial flagellin‐activated immunity plays a crucial role in shaping plant‐microbe interactions, leading to either parasitism, mutualism, or commensalism. In the legume‐rhizobium symbiosis, while it has been hypothesized that rhizobial infection involves avoidance of plant immunity following flagellin perception, direct evidence supporting ...
