With the expansion of the area under Cruciferae vegetable cultivation, and an increase in
the incidence of natural threats such as pests and diseases globally, Cruciferae vegetable …

Plant-lepidopteran interactions involve complex processes encompassing molecules and
regulators to counteract defense responses they develop against each other. Lepidoptera …

Abstract In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a hypersensitive-like response (HR-like
response) is triggered underneath the eggs of the large white butterfly Pieris brassicae (P …

Evolutionary arms‐races between plants and insect herbivores have long been proposed to
generate key innovations such as plant toxins and detoxification mechanisms that can drive …

Plants can enhance their defence against herbivorous insects by responding to insect egg
depositions preceding larval feeding. The similarity of plant responses to insect eggs with …

Animals confined to different dietary conditions often exhibit distinct, sometimes contrasting,
nutritional phenotypes and performance outcomes. This is especially true for many …

Plants perceive and respond to herbivore insect eggs. Upon egg deposition on leaves, a
strong hypersensitive response (HR)-like cell death can be activated leading to egg …

Insect herbivores are amongst the most destructive plant pests, damaging both naturally
occurring and domesticated plants. As sessile organisms, plants make use of structural and …

Unlike mammals, most invertebrates provide no direct parental care for their progeny, which
makes a well-selected oviposition site crucial. However, little is known about the female …

Insect eggs deposited on plants constitute a threat that has led to the evolution of
sophisticated defenses. The interactions between insect eggs and plants are governed by a …
