Plants have evolved several adaptive strategies through physiological changes in response
to herbivore attacks. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are synthesized to provide …

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

In agricultural cropping systems, relatively large amounts of nitrogen (N) are applied for
plant growth and development, and to achieve high yields. However, with increasing N …

Aphids are amongst the most damaging pests of plants that use their stylets to penetrate the
plant tissue to consume large amounts of phloem sap and thus deprive the plant of …

The mediation of volatile secondary metabolites in signalling between plants and other
organisms has long been seen as presenting opportunities for sustainable crop protection …

Plants have evolved plastic defence strategies to deal with the uncertainty of when, by which
species and in which order attack by herbivores will take place,–. However, the responses to …

Aphids are serious pests of agricultural and ornamental plants and important model systems
for hemipteran–plant interactions. The long evolutionary history of aphids with their host …

Aphids secrete diverse repertoires of salivary effectors into host plant cells to promote
infestation by modulating plant defence. The greenbug Schizaphis graminum is an important …

Contamination of soils with chromium (Cr) jeopardized agriculture production globally. The
current study was planned with the aim to better comprehend how melatonin (Mel) and …

The role of plant silicon (Si) in the alleviation of abiotic and biotic stress is now widely
recognised and researched. Amongst the biotic stresses, Si is known to increase resistance …
