Highlights•Plants perceive injury recognizing damage associated molecular patters
(DAMPs).•DAMPs serve as the plants''safety-belt'in the arms-race between plants and …

To coordinate growth, development and responses to environmental stimuli, plant cells need
to communicate the metabolic state between different sub-compartments of the cell. This …

The hormone salicylic acid (SA) generally induces plant defenses against biotrophic
pathogens. Jasmonic acid (JA) and its oxylipin derivatives together with ethylene (ET) are …

In nature, plants have to cope with a wide range of stress conditions that often occur
simultaneously or in sequence. To investigate how plants cope with multi‐stress conditions …

We tested the hypothesis that Arabidopsis can recognize and respond differentially to insect
species at the transcriptional level using a genome wide microarray. Transcriptional …

Populations of herbivorous insects are naturally consumed by other predacious or predatory
insect species. These entomophagous insects are thus plant-dwelling organisms that use …

Brassicaceae are blessed with secondary metabolites called glucosinolates which form the
defense arsenal of these plants. Glucosinolates and its degradation products are also …

BACKGROUND Sugarcane is the most important sugar crop in the world. Like other crops,
sugarcane suffers from herbivorous insect attack. The oriental armyworm Mythimna separata …

Nitrogen (N) is a limited nutrient for both plants and herbivores. How plants reallocate N
upon herbivore attack is vital for plant tolerance to herbivores. Here we investigated N …

The capacity of the East Asian seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla (“Ogonori”) for
production of prostaglandin E 2 from arachidonic acid occasionally causes food poisoning …
