Plants are constantly threatened by herbivore attacks and must devise survival strategies.
Some plants sense and respond to elicitors including specific molecules secreted by …

The Bemisia tabaci species complex (whitefly) causes enormous agricultural losses. These
phloem-feeding insects induce feeding damage and transmit a wide range of dangerous …

Highlights•Egg parasitoids evolved intricate strategies to overcome host location
challenges.•Mainly cues from the adult host and host plant are used to locate eggs.•Cue use …

Egg deposition by herbivorous insects is well known to elicit defensive plant responses. Our
study aimed to elucidate the insect and plant species specificity of these responses. To study …

Evolutionary arms‐races between plants and insect herbivores have long been proposed to
generate key innovations such as plant toxins and detoxification mechanisms that can drive …

Plants can respond to eggs laid by herbivorous insects on their leaves by preparing
(priming) their defense against the hatching larvae. Egg-mediated priming of defense is …

Abstract In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a hypersensitive-like response (HR-like
response) is triggered underneath the eggs of the large white butterfly Pieris brassicae (P …

Plants perceive the presence of insect eggs deposited on leaves as a cue of imminent
herbivore attack. Consequential plant signaling events include the accumulation of salicylic …

The studies of the long-term effects of insect infestations on plant anti-herbivore defences
tend to focus on feeding-induced damage. Infestations by an entire insect generation …

Plants perceive and respond to herbivore insect eggs. Upon egg deposition on leaves, a
strong hypersensitive response (HR)-like cell death can be activated leading to egg …
