Plants can respond to insect egg deposition and thus resist attack by herbivorous insects
from the beginning of the attack, egg deposition. We review ecological effects of plant …

Many aphids are major agricultural pests because of their unparalleled reproductive
capacity and their ability to manipulate host plant physiology. Aphid population growth and …

The relationship between phloem-feeding insects (PFIs) and plants offers an intriguing
example of a highly specialized biotic interaction. These insects have evolved to survive on …

Cruciferous plants produce a wide variety of glucosinolates as a protection against
herbivores and pathogens. However, very little is known about the importance of individual …

Insect attack triggers changes in transcript level in plants that are mediated predominantly by
jasmonic acid (JA). The implication of ethylene (ET), salicylic acid (SA), and other signals in …

Plant growth and development are controlled, in part, by endogenous growth substances
which are affected by biotic and abiotic signals and events. A particular class of growth …

Aphid feeding induces various defense signaling mechanisms in plants. The recognition of
feeding activities by plants occurs through the use of transmembrane pattern recognition …

Recent advances in the understanding of plant signaling pathways have opened the way for
using elicitor‐induced plant resistance as a tactic for protecting plants against arthropod …

Plants employ hormone‐mediated signaling pathways to defend against pathogens and
insects. We tested predictions about the relative effect of jasmonate and salicylate pathways …

Jasmonates, such as jasmonic acid (JA), are plant-signaling compounds that trigger induced
resistance against certain pathogens and a broad range of arthropod herbivores. One goal …
