しばらくブログ更新をサボってしまいましが，大学は 10 月から新学期が始まり，2, 3 年生もキャンパスに戻ってきました．
研究室では 10 月初めにタイの Naresuan 大学の学生さん 2 名が実験するために滞在しました．わずか 5 日間だけの短い滞在で，ちょっと思うような結果も出なかったのですが，今後は共同研究することになりそうです．また，指導教員の先生とその同僚の先生方も最後の二日間は阿見キャンパスにお見えになりました．
夏休み中は研究の経過報告だけを行っていた生物制御化学・化学生態学の合同研究室セミナーも 10 月初めには中間発表を行い，今週からは論文紹介も始まりました．今週の文献紹介の担当は博士課程二年の堀江君で，紹介した論文は Huffaker, A. et al. Plant elicitor peptides are conserved signals regulating direct and indirect antiherbivore defense. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 110, 5707-5712 (2013) でした．植物の内因性ペプチドを介したシグナル伝達が食害昆虫に対する直接的および間接的防御機構に関与していることを報告した論文です．
