Phenylalanine ammonia lyase: new insights from Piperaceae species
The enzyme PAL (phenylalanine ammonia lyase) mediates the key entry point to the general phenylpropanoid pathway, which is involved in the lignification process and in the formation of a myriad of secondary compounds in plants that show a variety of ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Effects of virus infection on release of volatile organic compounds from insect-damaged bean, Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Insects can serve as important vectors of plant pathogens, especially viruses. Insect feeding on plants causes the systemic release of a wide range of plant volatile compounds that can serve as an indirect plant defense by attracting natural enemies of ...
