Comparative metabolomics reveals how the severity of predation by the invasive insect Cydalima perspectalis modulates the metabolism re-orchestration of native Buxus sempervirens. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Combining NMR– and LC–HRMS–based metabolomics reveals that root and leaf metabolic changes in boxwood predated by box–tree moth occur at the same density of predation for both central and specialized metabolisms. Abstract The recent biological invasion of box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis on Buxus trees has a major impact on European boxwood stands ...
