Interactions between insects and glucosinolate-containing plant species have been
investigated for a long time. Although the glucosinolate–myrosinase system is believed to …

Larvae of the sawfly Athalia rosae sequester glucosinolates from their various host plants of
the Brassicaceae into their hemolymph for defensive purposes. We found that the …

Several insects have specialised on using Brassicaceae as host plants. Therefore, they
evolved metabolic pathways to cope with the defensive glucosinolate–myrosinase system of …

Larvae of the sawfly Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) feed
on several glucosinolate-containing plants and have been shown to sequester the main …

In this study, the larval sequestration abilities and defense effectiveness of four sawfly
species of the genus Athalia (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) that feed as larvae either on …

In this study, the performance and sequestration specificity of the sawfly Athalia rosae
L.(Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) reared on two wild Brassica oleracea L.(Brassicaceae) …

Various plants have a binary defence system that consists of a substrate and a glucosidase,
which is activated upon tissue disruption thereby forming reactive hydrolysis products …

Murgantia histrionica, the harlequin bug, is an aposematic pentatomid that feeds on toxic
crucifer plants. By performing predator trials, we found that the bugs are distasteful to several …

The ability of a specialized herbivore to overcome the chemical defense of a particular plant
taxon not only makes it accessible as a food source but may also provide metabolites to be …

Parasitic plants acquire diverse secondary metabolites from their hosts, including defense
compounds that target insect herbivores. However, the ecological implications of this …
