Hemipterans (such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers) are some of the most devastating
insect pests due to the numerous plant pathogens they transmit as vectors, which are …

Aphids are important herbivores of both wild and cultivated plants. Plants rely on unique
mechanisms of recognition, signalling and defence to cope with the specialized mode of …

Background The MYB gene family comprises one of the richest groups of transcription
factors in plants. Plant MYB proteins are characterized by a highly conserved MYB DNA …

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 …

Inducible defenses, which provide enhanced resistance after initial attack, are nearly
universal in plants. This defense signaling cascade is mediated by the synthesis, movement …

ABSTRACT The MYB34, MYB51, and MYB122 transcription factors are known to regulate
indolic glucosinolate (IG) biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. To determine the distinct …

Plants are sessile organisms that face environmental threats throughout their life cycle, but
increasing global warming poses an even more existential threat. Despite these unfavorable …

Plants co-evolved with an enormous variety of microbial pathogens and insect herbivores
under daily and seasonal variations in abiotic environmental conditions. Hence, plant cells …

Systemic resistance induced in plants by nonpathogenic rhizobacteria is typically effective
against multiple pathogens. Here, we show that root-colonizing Pseudomonas fluorescens …

Background Plants are hotbeds for parasites such as arthropod herbivores, which acquire
nutrients and energy from their hosts in order to grow and reproduce. Hence plants are …
