The peptidome mimicry hypothesis (PMH) builds on the principle that vertebrate immunity recognizes peptides absent from the host proteome. It extends this idea to predict host-parasite coevolution outcomes, systematic 'missing peptides', th...

Parasitic plants rely on other plants for nutrients, but they steer clear of exploiting their relatives, a behavior known as kin avoidance. Recently, Xiang et al. revealed that the parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum glucosylates and ...
