We examined ways in which the Brown planthopper induced008a (Bphi008a; AY256682)
gene of rice (Oryza sativa) enhances the plant's resistance to a specialist herbivore, the …

BACKGROUND Brown rice planthopper (BPH) is a devastating rice pest in Asia. Bph14 is
the first cloned BPH‐resistance gene in rice, inducing callose deposition while impeding …

Abstract Background Brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens) is one of the most
serious pests of rice in the world. Insect‐resistant genetic engineering is a very effective …

Ethylene is a stress hormone with contrasting effects on herbivore resistance. However, it
remains unknown whether these differences are plant-or herbivore-specific. We cloned a …

The brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens) is a piercing-sucking insect pest specific
to rice plants and may cause severe declines in rice yields. Therefore, it is of great …

Herbivore‐induced plant defence responses share common components with plant
responses to abiotic stresses. However, whether abiotic stress‐responsive factors influence …

Background Rice is staple food for over two billion people. Planthoppers like BPH and
WBPH occur together in most of rice growing regions across Asia and cause extensive yield …

Planthoppers are highly destructive pests in crop production worldwide. Brown planthopper
(BPH) causes the most serious damage of the rice crop globally among all rice pests …

Plant responses to herbivores are complex. 108 cDNA clones representing genes relating to
plant responses to chewing insect-feeding, pathogen infection, wounding and other stresses …

Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insects affecting rice (Oryza sativa
L.) production. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is a key enzyme involved in plant …
