Performance of specialist and generalist herbivores feeding on cabbage cultivars is not explained by glucosinolate profiles [PDF]

, 2008
Plants display a wide range of chemical defences that may differ in effectiveness against generalist and specialist insect herbivores. Host plant-specific secondary chemicals such as glucosinolates (GS) in Brassicaceae typically reduce the performance of

Birds exploit herbivore‐induced plant volatiles to locate herbivorous prey [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2013
Abstract Arthropod herbivory induces plant volatiles that can be used by natural enemies of the herbivores to find their prey. This has been studied mainly for arthropods that prey upon or parasitise herbivorous arthropods but rarely for insectivorous birds, one of the main groups of predators of herbivorous ...

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]

, 2008
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

In vivo and in situ measurements of the digestive characteristics of sainfoin in comparison with lucerne fed to sheep as fresh forages at two growth stages and as hay

Animal, 2008
In vivo and in situ digestive characteristics of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia L., a tannin-rich forage) and lucerne (Medicago sativa L., a tannin-free forage) were compared to evaluate the effects of condensed tannins (CT) and growth stage (vegetative

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

, 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.

Monitoring large herbivore diversity at different scales: comparing direct and indirect methods [PDF]

, 2009
Monitoring of large herbivores is central to research and management activities in many protected areas. Monitoring programs were originally developed to estimate (trends in) population sizes of individual species.

Effects of different grains on bacterial diversity and enzyme activity associated with digestion of starch in the foal stomach

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
Background Compared with the stomach of ruminant cattle, the stomach of horse is small and mainly for chemical digestion, but the microorganisms in the stomach play an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the internal environment.

Cold plasma promotes Sertoli cell proliferation via AMPK–mTOR signaling pathway

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
This study investigated cold plasmas for multiple biological applications. Our previous work has found dielectric barrier discharge plasma improves chicken sperm quality. The number of Sertoli cells (SCs) decides spermatogenesis.

Smelling the wood from the trees: non-linear parasitoid responses to volatile attractants produced by wild and cultivated cabbage [PDF]

, 2011
Despite a large number of studies on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), little is known about which specific compounds are used by natural enemies to locate prey- or host- infested plants.

Intraspecific Variation in Plant Defense Alters Effects of Root Herbivores on Leaf Chemistry and Aboveground Herbivore Damage [PDF]

, 2008
Root herbivores can indirectly affect aboveground herbivores by altering the food quality of the plant. However, it is largely unknown whether plant genotypes differ in their response to root herbivores, leading to variable defensive phenotypes.
