Arthropod herbivory poses a serious threat to crop yield, prompting plants to employ intricate
defense mechanisms against pest feeding. The generalist pest 2-spotted spider mite …

Plant–pest interactions involve multifaceted processes encompassing a complex crosstalk of
pathways, molecules, and regulators aimed at overcoming defenses developed by each …

After recognizing a biotic stress, plants activate signalling pathways to fight against the
attack. Typically, these signalling pathways involve the activation of phosphorylation …

Trichomes are unicellular or multicellular hair-like appendages developed on the aerial
plant epidermis of most plant species that act as a protective barrier against natural hazards …

Jasmonates are essential modulators of plant defences but the role of JA-derivatives has
been scarcely studied, particularly in the plant-pest interplay. To deepen into the JA …

Transcriptional plant responses are an important aspect of herbivore oviposition studies.
However, most of our current knowledge is derived from studies using Lepidopteran models …

Understanding the complex interactions between plants and herbivores is essential for
improving crop resistance. Aiming to expand the role of cyanogenesis in plant defence, we …

Key message NOI10 and NOI11 are two RIN4-like/NOI proteins that participate in the
immune response of the Arabidopsis plant and affect the RIN4-regulated mechanisms …

As coral reefs continue to degrade globally due to climate change, considerable effort and
investment is being put into coral restoration. The production of coral offspring via asexual …

Two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836, Acari: Tetranychidae) causes
significant yield losses in cultivated plants, especially depending on the season. Chemical …
