Highlights•Various plant taxa respond to insect eggs by formation of HR-like necrosis.•The
impact of the mode of insect egg deposition on the plant's HR remains elusive.•Insect eggs …

Plant-lepidopteran interactions involve complex processes encompassing molecules and
regulators to counteract defense responses they develop against each other. Lepidoptera …

Main conclusion Pinus sylvestris responds to insect egg deposition by ROS accumulation
linked with reduced activity of the ROS scavenger catalase. Egg mortality in needles with …

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 …

Due to a growing demand of food production worldwide, new strategies are suggested to
allow for sustainable production of food with minimal effects on natural resources. A …

Abstract Background Cabbage white butterflies (Pieris spp.) can be severe pests of Brassica
crops such as Chinese cabbage, Pak choi (Brassica rapa) or cabbages (B. oleracea). Eggs …

Plants respond to insect eggs with transcriptional changes, resulting in enhanced defence
against hatching larvae. However, it is unknown whether phylogenetically distant plant …

Plants can enhance their defence against herbivorous insects by responding to insect egg
depositions preceding larval feeding. The similarity of plant responses to insect eggs with …

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 …
