WorldPingTiny insects called aphids inject hundreds of mysterious proteins into plants, hijacking the plants' own genomes to build galls: structures made of plant tissue but constructed to the insects' specifications to house and feed their offspring.
Research findings and mission results set the evidence base that policy, funding and later discoveries build on.
