TL;DR: The results show that MYC3 and MYC4 are activators of JA-regulated programs that act additively with MYC2 to regulate specifically different subsets of the JA-dependent transcriptional response.

TL;DR: A triple mutant of MYC2, MYC3, and MYC4 transcription factors is devoid of glucosinolates and more sensitive to attack by a generalist insect, underlines the importance of GS in shaping plant interactions with adapted and nonadapted herbivores.

TL;DR: A master regulator was discovered that activates the biosynthesis of the iridoids, the monoterpenoid precursors of vinblastine and vincristine, and the rate-limiting branch in their biosynthetic pathway and represents an interesting tool for the metabolic engineering of the sustainable production of these high-value compounds in cultures of the endogenous plant species.

TL;DR: Interestingly, insect OS attenuated leaf water loss, suggesting that insects have evolved mechanisms to interfere with the induction of water-stress-related defences.

TL;DR: The role of the COI1, JAZ and MYC2 proteins in the interaction of the plant with its environment is reviewed, illustrating the significance of jasmonate signalling, and of the proteins involved, for responses to both biotic stresses caused by insects and numerous microbial pathogens and abiotic stresses causing by adverse climatic conditions.
