Planten panikeren als het regent, en dat is maar goed ook
De reactie van een plant op regen ligt zeer dicht bij een paniekreactie. Die verrassende ontdekking heeft een internationaal team van onderzoekers gedaan, onder wie ook vier Belgen. De planten activeren bij regen hun verdedigingsmechanismen, en ze verwittigen door chemische signalen ook hun buren zodat die hetzelfde kunnen doen.

Interactions between Bioactive Metabolites and Proteins
Interaction between metabolites and proteins drives virtually all cellular regulatory processes within any organism as well as the interaction between different organisms. Recent reports highlight that numerous plant metabolites embrace multiple biological activities, beyond a sole role as substrates, products or co-factors of enzymes, or as defense or growth regulatory compounds. Though several technologies have been developed to identify and characterize metabolite-protein interactions, the effective and systematic implementation of such methods in the plant field remains limited.
