Identification and characterization of circadian clock genes in a native tobacco,
BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background A plant’s endogenous clock (circadian clock) entrains physiological processes to light/dark and temperature cycles. Forward and reverse genetic approaches in Arabidopsis have revealed the mechanisms of the circadian clock and its components in

Natural variation in floral nectar proteins of two Nicotiana attenuata accessions. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2013 AbstractBackgroundFloral nectar (FN) contains not only energy-rich compounds to attract pollinators, but also defense chemicals and several proteins. However, proteomic analysis of FN has been hampered by the lack of publically available sequence information from nectar-producing plants.

Silencing Nicotiana attenuata LHY and ZTL alters circadian rhythms in flowers [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2016 Summary The rhythmic opening/closing and volatile emissions of flowers are known to attract pollinators at specific times. That these rhythms are maintained under constant light or dark conditions suggests a circadian clock involvement. Although a forward and reverse genetic approach has led to the identification of core circadian clock components in

A patatin-like protein synergistically regulated by jasmonate and ethylene signaling pathways plays a negative role in Nicotiana attenuata resistance to Alternaria alternata [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2019 Although patatin was initially identified as a major storage protein in potato tubers, patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have been recently reported to be widely present in many plant species and shown to be involved in plant-pathogen interactions.

Moth oviposition shapes the species-specific transcriptional and phytohormonal response of Nicotiana attenuata to larval feeding. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Oviposition by lepidopteran herbivores on Nicotiana attenuata primes plant defence responses that are induced by the feeding larvae. While oviposition by both the generalist Spodoptera exigua and the specialist Manduca sexta primes the production of ...

Silencing JA hydroxylases in Nicotiana attenuata enhances jasmonic acid-isoleucine-mediated defenses against Spodoptera litura [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2020 Jasmonic acid (JA) plays important roles in plant resistance to insect herbivores. One important derivative of JA is 12-OH-JA, which is produced by two independent pathways: direct hydroxylation of JA by jasmonate-induced oxygenases (JOXs) or ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2010 Background Plants trigger and tailor defense responses after perception of the oral secretions (OS) of attacking specialist lepidopteran larvae. Fatty acid-amino acid conjugates (FACs) in the OS of the Manduca sexta larvae are necessary and sufficient to

The defensin gene NaDLP1, which confers resistance against Alternaria alternata, is transcriptionally regulated by NaWRKY3/6 in Nicotiana attenuata [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Plant defensins are ubiquitous across plant species and serve as critical components of the innate immune system against fungal pathogens. In our previous study, we identified NaDLP1, a defensin-like protein 1-encoding gene in wild tobacco ...

Fitness benefits of trypsin proteinase inhibitor expression in
BMC Ecology, 2004 Background The commonly invoked cost-benefit paradigm, central to most of functional biology, explains why one phenotype cannot be optimally fit in all environments; yet it is rarely tested.

Oviposition by Spodoptera exigua on Nicotiana attenuata primes induced plant defence against larval herbivory [PDF]
Plant Journal, 2015 Plants exhibit multifarious defence traits against herbivory that are constitutively expressed or induced upon attack. Insect egg deposition often precedes impending larval attack, and several plants can increase their resistance against larvae after ...
