Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Overwintering of the Onion Thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), in New York [PDF]
A survey of overwintering thrips and the potential for Thrips tabaci Lindeman to overwinter in upstate New York were investigated during the winters of 1982–83 and 1983–84. Six species— T. tabaci, Anaphothrips obscurus (Muller), Chirothrips manicatus Haliday, Limothrips denticornis (Haliday), Frankltniella tenuicornis (Uzel), and Aptinothrips rufus ...

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

Thrips responses to plant odours [PDF]
Thrips responses to plant odour compounds were assessed using a Y-tube olfactometer. Several compounds were attractive to adult Frankliniella occidentalis females, since the majority walked towards the odour source.
