Arthropod-resistant crops provide significant ecological and economic benefits to global
agriculture. Incompatible interactions involving resistant plants and avirulent pest arthropods …

Under herbivore attack plants mount a defence response characterized by the accumulation
of secondary metabolites and inhibitory proteins. Significant changes are observed in the …

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) is a single-stranded RNA virus with three genome
components designated alpha, beta, and gamma. BSMV vectors have previously been …

The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants synthesizes a variety of structural and defence
compounds, and is an important target in efforts to reduce cell wall lignin for improved …

Rust fungi are devastating plant pathogens and several Puccinia species have a large
economic impact on wheat production worldwide. Disease protection, mostly offered by …

Aphids damage major world food and fiber crops through direct feeding and transmission of
plant viruses. Fortunately, the development of many aphid‐resistant crop plants has …

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), the Hordeivirus type member, is the most intensely
studied virus that naturally infects two major monocot crops, wheat (Triticum aestivum) and …

Plants generally respond to herbivore attack by increasing resistance and decreasing
growth. This prioritization is achieved through the regulation of phytohormonal signaling …

The mechanisms by which herbivore-attacked plants activate their defenses are well
studied. By contrast, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that allow them to …

Ubiquitination is one of the most abundant types of protein post‐translational modification
(PTM) in plant cells. The importance of ubiquitination in the regulation of many aspects of …
