THIRD TROPHIC LEVEL. "These phytodistress signals, which result in an active interaction between herbivore-damaged plants and a third trophic level, have been described for several agro-ecosystems. Examples include lima bean and apple plants, which produce volatiles that attract predatory mites when damaged by spider mites." https://lnkd.in/etUrY6F View in LinkedIn

ATTRACTING THE CAVALRY. "In addition to the bouquet of compounds that render leaves attractive or disagreeable to herbivores, volatile terpenoids and other compounds emitted from leaves in response to insect damage allow insect parasitoids (such as parasitic wasps) and predators to distinguish between infested and noninfested plants, and thus aid in locating hosts or prey." https://lnkd.in/etUrY6F View in LinkedIn

INDIRECT DEFENSE. "In the last two decades, researchers have frequently observed that herbivore damage to certain plants induces the emission of volatile organic compounds that attract natural enemies of the herbivores. Termed “indirect defense,” this phenomenon has been reported in >15 different plant species to date." https://lnkd.in/erB_zT8 View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM COMPUTING. "Intel CEO Brian Krzanich released an open letter today, pledging to dedicate $50 million to long-term research of quantum computing. The CPU giant is partnering with TU Delft, the largest and oldest Dutch public technical university, and will work with QuTech, TU Delft’s quantum research institute."

ATTRACTING THE ENEMIES OF ENEMIES. "Plants can defend themselves against herbivores by attracting natural enemies of the herbivores. The cues for attraction are often complex mixtures of herbivore-induced plant volatiles, making it difficult to demonstrate the role of specific compounds." https://lnkd.in/erB_zT8 View in LinkedIn

FIRST DUAL TELEPORTATION. "Two quantum properties teleported together for first time. The values of two inherent properties of one photon – its spin and its orbital angular momentum – have been transferred via quantum teleportation onto another photon for the first time by physicists in China." https://lnkd.in/eJs6PGu View in LinkedIn

PLANT HORMONE RECEPTORS, including auxin, gibberellins and abscission acid have been identified, and recently, the receptor for the plant stress hormone, jasmonate. This receptor is a three molecule complex (the inositol-phosphate potentiated COI1-JAZ co-receptor). These are effectively the taste and smell receptors of plants, very different from mammals. https://lnkd.in/emgB9Xu View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM TELEPORTING. "Teleporting more than one state simultaneously is essential to fully describe a quantum particle and achieving this would be a tentative step towards teleporting something larger than a quantum particle, which could be very useful in the exchange of quantum information." https://lnkd.in/eJs6PGu View in LinkedIn

ARSENAL OF MOLECULES. "Abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene can act synergistically with distinct JA-regulated responses, while they generally antagonize SA responses. Auxin, gibberellins, and cytokinins can repress defense-related processes to prioritize growth of the plant, and vice versa their action can be suppressed by SA or JA leading to activation of defense at the expense of plant growth." https://lnkd.in/e4rD_UV View in LinkedIn

CHIP QUANTUM TELEPORTATION allows coding quantum information at 10,000 times smaller than existing technologies. (2015). https://lnkd.in/epUWY_G View in LinkedIn
