Plants recognize biotic challengers and respond with the appropriate defense by utilizing
phytohormone signaling and crosstalk. Despite this, microbes and insects have evolved …

The interactions between plants and herbivorous insects are complex and involve multiple
factors, driving species formation and leading to the beginning of co-evolution and …

The swift rise of omics-approaches allows for investigating microbial diversity and plant-
microbe interactions across diverse ecological communities and spatio-temporal scales. The …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

Indirect plant defenses are those facilitating the action of carnivores in ridding plants of their
herbivorous consumers, as opposed to directly poisoning or repelling them. Of the …

Acute and precise signal perception and transduction are essential for plant defense against
insects. Insect elicitors—that is, the biologically active molecules from insects' oral secretion …

Host ranges are commonly quantified to classify herbivores and plant pathogens as either
generalists or specialists. Here, we summarize patterns and mechanisms in the interactions …

Herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) enable plants to recognize herbivores
and may help plants adjust their defense responses. Here, we report on herbivore-induced …

Abstract When Manduca sexta attacks Nicotiana attenuata, fatty acid-amino acid conjugates
(FACs) in the larvae's oral secretions (OS) are introduced into feeding wounds. These FACs …

Our understanding of induced resistance against herbivores has grown immeasurably
during the last several decades. Based upon the emerging literature, we argue that induced …
