Herbivore induction of jasmonic acid and chemical defences reduce photosynthesis in Nicotiana attenuata
(Oxford University Press, 2013-01)
Herbivory initiates a shift in plant metabolism from growth to defence that may reduce fitness in the absence of further herbivory. However, the defence-induced changes in carbon assimilation that precede this reallocation ...
Environmental effects on the induction of wheat chemical defences by aphid infestation
(Springer Verlag, 1996)
The effects of temperature and photoperiod on the ability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings to show induced responses (increased accumulation of hydroxamic acids, Hx) upon infestation by the bird cheery-oat aphid. ...
The synthetic cationic lipid diC14 activates a sector of the Arabidopsis defence network requiring endogenous signalling components
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-12)
Natural and synthetic elicitors have contributed significantly to the study of plant immunity. Pathogen-derived proteins and carbohydrates that bind to immune receptors, allow the fine dissection of certain defence pathways. ...
Benefits, costs and reactivity of inducible defences: an experimental test with rotifers
(2010)
1. A key aspect of the ecology and evolution of adaptive prey responses to predator risk is
the timing by which the former develop a defensive trait in response to inducing
signals released by the latter. This property, ...
Epichloë endophytes alter inducible indirect defences in host grasses
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06)
Epichloë endophytes are common symbionts living asymptomatically in pooid grasses and may provide chemical defences against herbivorous insects. While the mechanisms underlying these fungal defences have been well studied, ...
Evolution of a predator induced, nonlinear reaction norm
(Royal Society Publishing, 2017)
Inducible, anti-predator traits are a classic example of phenotypic plasticity. Their evolutionary dynamics depend on their genetic basis, the historical pattern of predation risk that populations have experienced and ...
Patterns of Azteca ants' defence in Cecropia trees in a tropical rainforest: support for optimal defence theory
(2008)
Optimal defence theory (ODT) predicts that, whereas high risk of herbivory should select for high constitutive levels of defence, induced defences should be more advantageous in environments with a low probability of ...
Colletotrichum acutatum M11 can suppress the defence response in strawberry plants
(Springer, 2019-10)
Colletotrichum acutatum M11 produces a diffusible compound that suppresses the biochemical, physiological, molecular and anatomical events associated with the defence response induced by the plant defence elicitor AsES. ...
