Abstract:
... In ecology, dealing with sample design is a constant challenge, especially in interaction networks, where most studies suffer from undersampling. Different sampling methods are used in interaction networks, from continuous observations over time to observations at the peak of flowering of plants. However, species richness and abundance vary crucially over time. Therefore, there is significant unce ...

Abstract:
... Stomata play a central role in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Existing knowledge regarding the roles of stomata in plant stress is centered on abiotic stresses and plant–pathogen interactions, but how stomata influence plant–herbivore interactions remains largely unclear. Here, we summarize the functions of stomata in plant–insect interactions and highlight recent discoveries of h ...

Abstract:
... The defense mechanisms that plants have developed in response to herbivory can be chemical, physical, or morphological, which, acting alone or combined, can reduce the damage caused by insects. In this study, the morphogenetic traits capable of attributing resistance to common bean cultivars to Diabrotica speciosa were analyzed, which will serve as a basis for use in the organic system and serving ...

Abstract:
... The composition and richness of herbivore and plant assemblages change along climatic gradients, but knowledge about associated shifts in specialization is scarce and lacks controlling for the abundance and phylogeny of interaction partners. Thus, we aimed to test whether the specialization of phytophagous insects in insect‐plant interaction networks decreases toward cold habitats as predicted by ...

Potato, a cool‐weather crop, emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which attract the specialist herbivore, Phthorimaea operculella, but also this herbivore's parasitic wasp, Trichogramma chilonis, an important biocontrol agent. What happens to this trophic system when heat stress challenges this agro‐ecosystem? We studied how high temperature (HT) pre‐treatments influence potato's VOC emissions ...

The rice leaf folder (LF), Cnaphalocrocis medinalis, is one of the most destructive insect pests in the paddy field. LF larvae induces leaf folding and scrapes the upper epidermis and mesophyll tissues reducing photosynthesis and yield in rice. Identifying p ...

... Concerns over widespread use of insecticides and heightened insect pest virulence under climate change continue to fuel the need for environmentally safe and sustainable control strategies. However, to develop such strategies, a better understanding of the molecular basis of plant-pest interactions is still needed. Despite decades of research investigating plant-insect interactions, few examples e ...

The chemical defences of monarch butterflies involve two kinds of secondary plant metabolites: cardiac glycosides (CGs) that are obtained from larval hostplants, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) that are gathered by adults usually independent from feeding behaviour. While monarchs and CGs have received great attention, monarchs and PAs appear largely ignored in science as well as by the public ...

Interestingly, a group of small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs (miRNAs) are found to be associated with the regulatory processes of plants both in pre and post-infestation scenarios either elevating or demoting expression levels of different genes involved in plant-insect interaction. Studies show roles of a number of miRNAs du ...

Abstract:
... The insects of Ostrinia furnacalis and Helicoverpa armigera are the two main pests that affect maize growth, which significantly decrease the yield. Plants induce various immune-related pathways to antagonize insect feeding during insect–plant interactions. Moreover, different insect elicitors or effectors participate in the interactions via releasing into plants. While there are many bacteria dur ...
