The recognition of insect and pathogen attack requires the plant's ability to perceive
chemical cues generated by the attacker. In contrast to the recognition of microbe …

The phenylpropanoid metabolic space comprises a network of interconnected metabolic
branches that contribute to the biosynthesis of a large array of compounds with functions in …

DNA binding with One Finger (DOF) transcription factors are involved in multiple aspects of
plant growth and development but their precise roles in abiotic stress tolerance are largely …

Plants respond to herbivory by reprogramming their metabolism. Most research in this
context has focused on locally induced compounds that function as toxins or feeding …

A large number of plants accumulate N-acylated polyamines (phenolamides [PAs]) in
response to biotic and/or abiotic stress conditions. In the native tobacco (Nicotiana …

Nicotiana attenuata has the capacity to respond specifically to herbivory by its natural
herbivore, Manduca sexta, through the perception of elicitors in larval oral secretions. We …

Abstract O-Acyl sugars (O-AS) are abundant trichome-specific metabolites that function as
indirect defenses against herbivores of the wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata; whether they …

In response to challenges from herbivores and competitors, plants use fitness‐limiting
resources to produce (auto) toxic defenses. Jasmonate signaling, mediated by MYC2 …

Plants respond to herbivory by reconfiguring hormonal networks, increasing secondary
metabolite production and decreasing growth. Furthermore, some plants display a decrease …

Ecological performance is all about timing and the endogenous clock that allows the
entrainment of rhythms and anticipation of fitness-determining events is being rapidly …
