▪ Abstract Plants respond to herbivore attack with a bewildering array of responses, broadly
categorized as direct and indirect defenses, and tolerance. Plant-herbivore interactions are …

With the completion of the Populus trichocarpa genome sequence and the development of
various genetic, genomic, and biochemical tools, Populus now offers many possibilities to …

Plants have evolved various strategies to defend themselves against herbivores and
pathogens. Although some of these strategies are constitutive, ie present at all times, others …

Plants respond to insect herbivory with responses broadly known as direct defenses, indirect
defenses, and tolerance. Direct defenses include all plant traits that affect susceptibility of …

In this review, plant-insect interaction is discussed as a dynamic system, subjected to
continual variation and change. Plants developed different mechanisms to reduce insect …

Abstract In poplar (Populus spp.), the major defense phenolics produced in leaves are the
flavonoid-derived proanthocyanidins (PAs) and the salicin-based phenolic glycosides …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), in addition to attracting natural enemies of
herbivores, can serve a signaling function within plants to induce or prime defenses …

In order to study condensed tannin synthesis and its induction by herbivory, a
dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) cDNA was isolated from trembling aspen (Populus …

The transcriptional response of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa× P. deltoids) to poplar
leaf rust (Melampsora medusae) infection was studied using the Populus 15.5 K cDNA …

Populus is an important model organism in forest biology, but levels of nucleotide
polymorphisms and linkage disequilibrium have never been investigated in natural …
