					Soybeans are the world's largest single source of vegetable protein and  edible oil, already used to make livestock feed, soymilk, tofu,  adhesives, alternative fuels, disinfectants, plastics and particleboard.  Using a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation,  University of Georgia researcher Wayne Parrott hopes to uncover more  uses for the popular legume.

				<title>UGA study sheds light on aphid vs. wasp evolution</title>
				<link>http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/uga&#45;study&#45;sheds&#45;light&#45;on&#45;aphid&#45;vs&#45;wasp&#45;evolution</link>
				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Nature is a system of checks and balances, as is the case between aphids and wasps. Aphids feed on plants; wasps lay eggs inside aphids, killing them and increasing plant production. Some aphids harbor bacterial symbionts, or smaller organisms that live in close association with a host, that provide protection by killing the internally developing wasps. Wasps are able to decipher which aphids are infected and use superparasitism to override the poison.
