The Impact of the Absence of Aliphatic Glucosinolates on Insect Herbivory in Arabidopsis [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Aliphatic glucosinolates are compounds which occur in high concentrations in Arabidopsis thaliana and other Brassicaceae species. They are important for the resistance of the plant to pest insects. Previously, the biosynthesis of these compounds was shown to be regulated by transcription factors MYB28 and MYB29.

Tolerance to insect herbivory increases with progressing plant development. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Abstract Plants can sustain various degrees of damage or compensate for tissue loss by regrowth without significant fitness costs. This tolerance to insect herbivory depends on the plant's developmental stage during which the damage is inflicted and on how much tissue is removed.

Persistent inner tepals and wings protect developing seeds of Rheum nanum from insect herbivory in Central Asian cold deserts [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAlthough the postdispersal functions of diaspore (fruit and its appendages) have been reported, little is known about their protective/defensive functions.

Isoprene deters insect herbivory by priming plant hormone responses. [PDF]
Sci AdvIsoprene, emitted by some plants, deters insect herbivory. However, the associated biochemical and physiological responses that confer herbivory resistance remain unknown.

Insect herbivory on urban trees: Complementary effects of tree neighbours and predation
Peer Community Journal, 2022 Insect herbivory is an important component of forest ecosystems functioning and can affect tree growth and survival. Tree diversity is known to influence insect herbivory in natural forest, with most studies reporting a decrease in herbivory with ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plants rely on the perception of a multitude of herbivory-associated cues (HACs) to activate their defense response to insect herbivores. These stimuli are mainly derived from three functional components, namely, mechanical damage, insect-associated ...

Spider silk reduces insect herbivory [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2013 The role of predators in food webs extends beyond their ability to kill and consume prey. Such trait-mediated effects occur when signals of the predator influence the behaviour of other animals. Because all spiders are silk-producing carnivores, we hypothesized that silk alone would signal other arthropods and enhance non-lethal effects of spiders.

Plant-litter-soil feedbacks in common grass species are slightly negative and only marginally modified by litter exposed to insect herbivory [PDF]
, 2022 Purpose Insect herbivory affects plant growth, nutrient and secondary metabolite concentrations and litter quality. Changes to litter quality due to insect herbivory can alter decomposition, with knock on effects for plant growth mediated through the ...
