Density-dependent adjustment of inducible defenses [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 International audiencePredation is a major factor driving evolution, and organisms have evolved adaptations increasing their survival chances. However, most defenses incur trade-offs between benefits and costs.

IFN-Inducible GTPases in Host Cell Defense [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2012 From plants to humans, the ability to control infection at the level of an individual cell-a process termed cell-autonomous immunity-equates firmly with survival of the species. Recent work has begun to unravel this programmed cell-intrinsic response and the central roles played by IFN-inducible GTPases in defending the mammalian cell's interior ...

Mi-1-mediated resistance to Meloidogyne incognita in tomato may not rely on ethylene but hormone perception through ETR3 participates in limiting nematode infection in a susceptible host. [PDF]
, 2013 Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., are important pests of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and resistance to the three most prevalent species of this genus, including Meloidogyne incognita, is mediated by the Mi-1 gene. Mi-1 encodes a nucleotide binding

Degree of high phenotypic plasticity in wild populations of Daphnia in early spring
Journal of Limnology, 2018 Inducible defenses have been empirically known as defensive phenotypes that are triggered by predator kairomones. We hypothesized that morphological defense of wild Daphnia varies not only with predator density, but also with the predator regime in the ...

Inducible Defenses with a "Twist": Daphnia barbata Abandons Bilateral Symmetry in Response to an Ancient Predator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Predation is one of the most important drivers of natural selection. In consequence a huge variety of anti-predator defenses have evolved in prey species.

Reduced expression of glycolate oxidase leads to enhanced disease resistance in rice [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Glycolate oxidase (GLO) is a key enzyme in photorespiration, catalyzing the oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate. Arabidopsis GLO is required for nonhost defense responses to Pseudomonas syringae and for tobacco Pto/AvrPto-mediated defense responses.
