Journal ArticleDOI

Arabidopsis basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors MYC2, MYC3, and MYC4 regulate glucosinolate biosynthesis, insect performance, and feeding behavior.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ZIM domain mediates homo- and heteromeric interactions between Arabidopsis JAZ proteins.

TL;DR: It is shown that the ZIM domain acts as a protein-protein interaction domain mediating homo- and heteromeric interactions between JAZ proteins, and evidence that the Jas motif mediates the hormone-dependent interaction between Arabidopsis JAZ3 and COI1 is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jasmonates: signal transduction components and their roles in environmental stress responses

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repression of Jasmonate-Dependent Defenses by Shade Involves Differential Regulation of Protein Stability of MYC Transcription Factors and Their JAZ Repressors in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: The opposite regulation of protein stability of MYCs and JAZs by FR-enriched light help explain the long-standing observation that canopy shade represses JA-mediated defenses, facilitating reallocation of resources from defense to growth.
