Induced Resistance and Defense Primings
Priming is a phenomenon in which plants upon treatment with a resistance-inducing agent acquire an enhanced defensive capacity to respond faster...

Volatiles released by damaged leaves of Piper mollicomum (Piperaceae) act as cues for predaceous wasps: evidence using plasticine dummies as herbivore model
Volatiles released by damaged plants are used as cues by predators and parasitoids to find their herbivorous prey. Here, we assessed whether odor...

Biomolecules Regulating Defense Mechanism in Plants
There are two types of defense mechanism in plants which are regulated by biomolecules. Physical defense is the corporeal barrier developed in the...

Control of post-harvest gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) on grape (Vitis vinifera) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) using volatile organic compounds produced by Xenorhabdus nematophila and Photorhabdus laumondii subsp. laumondii
Post-harvest fruit and vegetable rot produced by Botrytis cinerea (Helotiales: Sclerotiniaceae) causes significant reductions in food availability...

The rice wound-inducible transcription factor RERJ1 sharing same signal transduction pathway with OsMYC2 is necessary for defense response to herbivory and bacterial blight
Key messageThis study describes biological functions of the bHLH transcription factor RERJ1 involved in the jasmonate response and the related...

Elevated α-Linolenic Acid Content in Extra-plastidial Membranes of Tomato Accelerates Wound-Induced Jasmonate Generation and Improves Tolerance to the Herbivorous Insects Heliothis peltigera and Spodoptera littoralis
In tomato, desaturation of linoleic acid (18:2) to α-linolenic acid (18:3) is mediated in the plastidial membranes by the ω-3 fatty acid desaturases...
