Evolution of metabolic novelty: A trichome-expressed invertase creates specialized metabolic diversity in wild tomato.

abstract：:The retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) innate immune receptor is an important immunotherapeutic target, but we lack approaches for monitoring the physical basis for its activation in vitro. This gap in our understanding has led to confusion about mechanisms of RIG-I activation and difficulty discovering agonists a...
