Journal ArticleDOI
Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota
Lingfei Hu,Christelle A. M. Robert,Selma Cadot,Xi Zhang,Meng Ye,Beibei Li,Daniele Manzo,Noémie Chervet,Thomas Steinger,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Klaus Schlaeppi,Matthias Erb +12 more
TL;DR: The results reveal a mechanism by which plants determine the composition of rhizosphere microbiota, plant performance and plant-herbivore interactions of the next generation by modifying root-associated microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indole is an essential herbivore-induced volatile priming signal in maize
Matthias Erb,Nathalie Veyrat,Christelle A. M. Robert,Hao Xu,Monika Frey,Jurriaan Ton,Ted C. J. Turlings +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indole functions as a rapid and potent aerial priming agent that prepares systemic tissues and neighbouring plants for incoming attacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maize lipoxygenase, ZmLOX10, mediates green leaf volatile, jasmonate, and herbivore-induced plant volatile production for defense against insect attack
Shawn A. Christensen,Andriy Nemchenko,Eli J. Borrego,Ian V.J. Murray,Islam S. Sobhy,Liz Bosak,Stacy L. DeBlasio,Matthias Erb,Christelle A. M. Robert,Kathy A. Vaughn,Cornelia Herrfurth,James H. Tumlinson,Ivo Feussner,David A. Jackson,Ted C. J. Turlings,Jurgen Engelberth,Christian Nansen,Robert B. Meeley,Michael V. Kolomiets +18 more
TL;DR: It is shown that products and signals derived from a single Zea mays (maize) lipoxygenase (LOX), ZmLOX10, are critical for both direct and indirect defenses to herbivory, and that LOX10-dependent metabolites confer immunity against insect attack.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence of arrival determines plant-mediated interactions between herbivores
TL;DR: It is proposed that leaf-herbivore-induced increases in feeding-deterrent and/or toxic secondary metabolites may account for the sequence-specific reduction in root-herBivore performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A specialist root herbivore exploits defensive metabolites to locate nutritious tissues
Christelle A. M. Robert,Nathalie Veyrat,Gaétan Glauser,Guillaume Marti,Gwladys R. Doyen,Neil Villard,Mickaël D. P. Gaillard,Tobias G. Köllner,David Giron,Mélanie J.A. Body,Benjamin A. Babst,Richard A. Ferrieri,Ted C. J. Turlings,Matthias Erb +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that crown roots of maize seedlings were vital for plant development and, in accordance, were rich in nutritious primary metabolites and contained higher amounts of the insecticidal 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1, 4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) and the phenolic compound chlorogenic acid.
