Different types of insect feeding can activate distinct plant resistance mechanisms and
trigger the generation of specific volatile compounds. Transcriptomic changes and the …

In response to insect herbivory, plants emit elevated levels of volatile organic compounds for
direct and indirect resistance. However, little is known about the molecular and genomic …

Simple Summary To elucidate the cotton plant's defense mechanism against Apolygus
lucorum, the transcriptomic and metabolomic differences in cotton plants after infestation …

The green mirid bug (Apolygus lucorum) and the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera)
are both preferred to live on cotton but cause different symptoms, suggesting specialized …

Simple Summary This study delves into the intricate defense mechanisms of cotton plants
against the primary pest Adelphocoris suturalis Jakovlev, which has become a major …

When attacked by insect herbivores, plants initiate sophisticated defenses mediated by
complex signaling networks and usually release a blend of functional volatiles such as …

Food source is a major determinant of physiological performance and a strong selection
force for insect herbivores. The ability to adequately respond to chemical challenges posed …

Plants and insects coevolved as an evolutionarily successful and enduring association. The
molecular arms race led to evolutionary novelties regarding unique mechanisms of defence …

The small brown planthopper (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) is one of the most destructive
insect pests in rice (Oryza sativa), which is the world's major grain crop. The dynamic …

Background The evolutionary arms race between plants and insects has driven the co-
evolution of sophisticated defense mechanisms used by plants to deter herbivores and …
