Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3417-3427, June 2026.Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.
