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.

Insect herbivory and plant adaptation in an early successional community* [PDF]

Evolution, 2018
To address the role of insect herbivores in adaptation of plant populations and the persistence of selection through succession, we manipulated herbivory in a long-term field experiment. We suppressed insects in half of 16 plots over nine years and examined the genotypic structure and chemical defense of common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), a ...

Isoprene deters insect herbivory by priming plant hormone responses. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Isoprene, 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 ...

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 ...

Disentangling the Potato Tuber Moth-Induced Early-Defense Response by Simulated Herbivory in Potato Plants

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.

Aboveground herbivory does not affect mycorrhiza-dependent nitrogen acquisition from soil but inhibits mycorrhizal network-mediated nitrogen interplant transfer in maize

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture due to their ability to facilitate plant uptake of important mineral elements, such as nitrogen (N).
