Why is Spotted Wing Drosophila attracted to fruit at its prime, instead of overripe fruit like most flies? Xue and Dweck found the neuron receptor changes responsible for this $500M agricultural problem, in this impressive 2-author work done entirely at @CT_CAES !
I am very happy to share that the latest work from the lab, led by Dr. Qi Xue (@Qi_Xue_94), has been published in PNAS and is now online: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…
