Summary Plant species diversity enhances community productivity, but how plant diversity impacts the metabolome of individual plants and the underlying eco‐evolutionary processes remains unclear. This study investigated how plant species diversity and selection for growing in different diversity environments affect the leaf metabolome of Plantago ...

The glutamate receptor‐like GLR2.7 modulates insect egg‐induced defense responses in Arabidopsis
Summary Upon perception of insect eggs, Arabidopsis thaliana activates a generic immune response that culminates in cell death (hypersensitive‐like response (HR‐like)). While this response can subsequently impact egg survival, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.

Summary During herbivore feeding, plants can recognize herbivore‐associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) present in saliva and trigger pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI). Piercing‐sucking insects secrete gel saliva, forming salivary sheaths that aid in feeding. However, the role of proteins within these salivary sheaths in modulating plant defences remains
