- [BTI Dedicates Auditorium in Honor of Dr. J. Alan Renwick](https://btiscience.org/bti-dedicates-auditorium-in-honor-of-dr-j-alan-renwick/): On September 18, colleagues, family, and friends gathered to dedicate BTI's auditorium as the Dr. J. Alan Renwick Auditorium, honoring the pioneering chemical ecologist who spent more than six decades at the Institute.
- [Wild Tomatoes Still Hold the Flavor We Bred Away: New Map Shows Breeders Where to Look](https://btiscience.org/wild-tomatoes-still-hold-the-flavor-we-bred-away-new-map-shows-breeders-where-to-look/): Modern tomatoes are a breeding success story. Generations of selection have made them bigger, firmer, more productive, and easier to ship. But that progress came at a cost. Domestication and breeding reduced much of the crop's genetic diversity, and flavor has proven stubbornly hard to breed back in.
- [The Andes were supposed to stop this cacao killer. They didn’t.](https://btiscience.org/the-andes-were-supposed-to-stop-this-cacao-killer-they-didnt/): Black pod disease destroys up to a quarter of the world's cacao every year, roughly 700,000 metric tons, worth more than $2 billion. The water mold responsible across the Americas is Phytophthora palmivora, and in Colombia it is the dominant Phytophthora on cacao. How it travels among the country's three Andean regions, though, has remained an open question.
- [Beyond the Grant: How the Cane-Bridge Foundation Is Helping BTI Turn Discovery into Impact](https://btiscience.org/beyond-the-grant-how-the-cane-bridge-foundation-is-helping-bti-turn-discovery-into-impact/): A shrub that grows wild in the deserts of the American Southwest could someday replace the latex tapped from rubber trees half a world away — in tires, in surgical gloves, in thousands of everyday products. The science already shows it's possible.
- [New AI tool maps the hidden universe of small molecules](https://btiscience.org/new-ai-tool-maps-the-hidden-universe-of-small-molecules/): The human body and its gut microbiome produce thousands of small molecules that shape how the body functions—influencing immunity, metabolism, and more. Identifying what those molecules actually are has been one of the biomedical sciences’ most persistent bottlenecks. More than 80% of compounds detected in a typical biological sample cannot be matched to any known structure using current methods.
- [Primed and Ready to Fight: A Nematode Pheromone Arms Plants to Battle Pathogens](https://btiscience.org/primed-and-ready-to-fight-a-nematode-pheromone-arms-plants-to-battle-pathogens/): When cold and flu season comes around, we take steps like getting our flu shots and taking immune supplements to strengthen our bodies’ defenses against path
