Fire, nitrogen, and defensive plasticity in Nicotiana attenuata

, 1998
Nicotiana attenuata is a post-fire annual that utilizes jasmonate-inducible nicotine production as an inducible chemical defense which, in turn, can utilize 6% of a plant's nitrogen budget and be costly to seed production. We characterize the nitrogen

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Plant-mediated RNAi silences midgut-expressed genes in congeneric lepidopteran insects in nature

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Plant-mediated RNAi (PMRi) silencing of insect genes has enormous potential for crop protection, but whether it works robustly under field conditions, particularly with lepidopteran pests, remains controversial.

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Capsanthin Biosynthesis and Sequestration in Processing Type Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2787-2826, August 2026.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

The interaction between CaDUF642.01 and CaPME2 influences stem strength in Capsicum annuum L.

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Stem strength is a key agronomic trait that influences planting adaptability and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Pepper is the most widely cultivated vegetable crop in China, and full mechanization of its production is crucial for enhancing quality and productivity. In the preliminary stage of this study, transcriptomic analysis was performed

Natural variation in floral nectar proteins of two Nicotiana attenuata accessions. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol, 2013
Background: Floral 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 ...

Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4640-4655, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.
