Laramy Enders studies the interactions between plants, insect pests (especially aphids), and microbial communities living on and in plants (the microbiome). Their work looks at how root and leaf-associated microbes, plant genetics, and insect biology together influence pest resistance and tolerance, using this to explore new strategies for developing insect-resistant crops. Much of the research uses aphids and crop or wild plant species like tomatoes, wheat, and milkweed as model systems.
Publication output rose from a low base around 2017-2019 to a peak of about 5 papers per year in 2021-2022, then declined to roughly 1-2 per year in 2023-2025, suggesting a slowing pace after a productive middle period.
