Dragonflies are expert fliers, capable of hovering, gliding, and even flying backward
Their movement slows down during the early morning due to the cool temperatures and moisture.

Transcription factor bHLH25 plays a dual role in #plant defense.
Oxidized, it boosts #lignin production to strengthen #cell walls against #pathogens.
Non-oxidized, it activates #phytoalexins to inhibit pathogen growth.
Together, these functions may help us create disease-resistant #crops without yield loss.
