Nematode-Trapping Fungi Eavesdrop on Nematode Pheromones [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 The recognition of molecular patterns associated with specific pathogens or food sources is fundamental to ecology and plays a major role in the evolution of predator-prey relationships. Recent studies showed that nematodes produce an evolutionarily highly conserved family of small molecules, the ascarosides, which serve essential functions in ...
