Arabidopsis ssi2-Conferred Susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea Is Dependent on EDS5 and PAD4
Loss of a stearoyl-ACP desaturase activity in the Arabidopsis thaliana ssi2 mutant confers susceptibility to the necrotroph, Botrytis cinerea. In contrast, the ssi2 mutant exhibits enhanced resistance to Pseudomonas syringae, Peronospora parasitica, and ...

A comment on “Variability in plant nutrients reduces insect herbivore performance” [PDF]
In their recent contribution, Wetzel et al. [Wetzel et al. (2016) Variability in plant nutrients reduces insect herbivore performance. Nature 539: 425-427] predict that variance in the plant nutrient level reduces herbivore performance via the nonlinear ...
