TL;DR: This work used path analysis to determine whether compound indices detected more relationships between diversities of different organisms and traits than more basic indices, and demonstrated that while common diversity indices may appear interchangeable in simple analyses, when considering complex interactions, the choice of index can profoundly alter the interpretation of results.

TL;DR: Characterisation of polar paths of transport in plant cuticles and the cuticle and cellular interactions and Microbial communities in the phyllosphere are studied.

TL;DR: Current knowledge about the physical and chemical properties of plant cuticles and their role in interactions with microorganisms, phytophagous insects, and their antagonists are summarized.

TL;DR: Expression of HAG1/MYB28 was significantly induced by glucose, indicating a novel transcriptional regulatory mechanism for the integration of carbohydrate availability upon biotic challenge, and it is hypothesized that H AG1/ MYB28 is a novel regulator of aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis that controls the response to biotic challenges.

TL;DR: In this article, an Arabidopsis thaliana activation-tagged line, displaying altered levels of secondary metabolites, was shown to be affected in the content of indolic and aliphatic glucosinolates.
