Correlations between physical and chemical defences in plants: tradeoffs, syndromes, or just many different ways to skin a herbivorous cat? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak.

Testing the effectiveness of pyrazine defences against spiders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Insects live in a dangerous world and may fall prey to a wide variety of predators, encompassing multiple taxa. As a result, selection may favour defences that are effective against multiple predator types, or target-specific defences that can reduce ...

Inhibition of lipoxygenase affects induction of both direct and indirect plant defences against herbivorous insects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of insects associated with the plant. For biting–chewing herbivores the octadecanoid signal-transduction pathway has been suggested to play a key role in induced plant defence.

First characterization of toxic alkaloids and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the cryptic dendrobatid Silverstoneia punctiventris

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2021
Background Poison frogs are known for the outstanding diversity of alkaloid-based chemical defences with promising therapeutic applications. However, current knowledge about chemical defences in Dendrobatoidea superfamily has two sources of bias.

Ecogeographical determinants of investment in chemical defences in pines

open access: yes, 2022
Understanding the ecological and environmental correlates of tree defences has value for understanding forest susceptibility to pests and pathogens in a time of global change.

Systemic biochemical changes in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) against Rhizoctonia solani by kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala L.) green manure application

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background In the search for new alternatives to avoid the problems associated with the use of synthetic chemical fungicides in agriculture, the use of green manure (GrM) could help combat fungal diseases of crops, such as those produced by the ...

Transcriptome analysis of aphids exposed to glandular trichomes in tomato reveals stress and starvation related responses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the responses of insect herbivores to plant chemical defences is pivotal for the management of crops and pests. However, the mechanisms of interaction are not entirely understood.
