Insect-induced daidzein, formononetin and their conjugates in soybean leaves. [PDF]
, 2014 In response to attack by bacterial pathogens, soybean (Gylcine max) leaves accumulate isoflavone aglucones, isoflavone glucosides, and glyceollins. In contrast to pathogens, the dynamics of related insect-inducible metabolites in soybean leaves remain ...

Microbiome: Insect Herbivory Drives Plant Phyllosphere Dysbiosis [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 A well-known trade-off exists between plant defenses against herbivores and defenses against pathogens, but few studies incorporate the plant microbiome. A new study by Humphrey and Whiteman shows that herbivory reshapes the leaf microbiome and increases susceptibility to potential bacterial pathogens.

The role of isoprene in insect herbivory [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2008 Several hypotheses have previously been proposed to explain the function of isoprene in plants, including its ability to protect the leaf metabolic machinery from transient high temperature1,2 and from oxidative stress.3 Isoprene may also serve as a metabolic overflow mechanism for carbon or photosynthetic energy4-6 and may promote flowering in ...

Acylsugars protect Nicotiana benthamiana against insect herbivory and desiccation [PDF]
Plant Molecular Biology, 2021 Abstract Nicotiana benthamiana is used extensively as a transient expression platform for functional analysis of genes from other species. Acylsugars, which are produced in the trichomes, are a hypothesized cause of the relatively high insect resistance that is observed in N. benthamiana. We characterized the N.

Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]
, 2009 The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

Effects of landscape context on herbivory and parasitism at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2003 Local community structure and interactions have been shown to depend partly on landscape context. In this paper we tested the hypothesis that the spatial scale experienced by an organism depends on its trophic level.

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.

AM fungal colonization minimizes disease damage on tomato during later life stages while delaying fruit development [PDF]
, 2020 Beneficial soil microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, can help prepare plants for defense through a mechanism known as priming. Two of the most important unresolved questions in the field of AM fungal-mediated plant defense are (1) whether
