Hormonal Modulation of Plant Immunity

TL;DR: Evidence is emerging that beneficial root-inhabiting microbes also hijack the hormone-regulated immune signaling network to establish a prolonged mutualistic association, highlighting the central role of plant hormones in the regulation of plant growth and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced systemic resistance by beneficial microbes

TL;DR: This review focuses on molecular processes at the interface between plant roots and ISR-eliciting mutualists, and on the progress in the understanding of ISR signaling and systemic defense priming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of phytohormones in insect-specific plant reactions.

TL;DR: The jasmonate (JA) pathway has emerged as the major signaling cassette that integrates information perceived at the plant-insect interface into broad-spectrum defense responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid transcriptional plasticity of duplicated gene clusters enables a clonally reproducing aphid to colonise diverse plant species

TL;DR: It is shown that the generalist aphid pest M. persicae is able to colonise diverse host plant species in the absence of genetic specialisation through rapid transcriptional plasticity of genes that have duplicated during aphid evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Posidonia oceanica cadmium induces changes in DNA methylation and chromatin patterning

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that Cd perturbs the DNA methylation status through the involvement of a specific methyltransferase, linked to nuclear chromatin reconfiguration likely to establish a new balance of expressed/repressed chromatin.

The plant immune system

TL;DR: A detailed understanding of plant immune function will underpin crop improvement for food, fibre and biofuels production and provide extraordinary insights into molecular recognition, cell biology and evolution across biological kingdoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant pathogens and integrated defence responses to infection.

TL;DR: The current knowledge of recognition-dependent disease resistance in plants is reviewed, and a few crucial concepts are included to compare and contrast plant innate immunity with that more commonly associated with animals.

Insect-plant biology

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying plant resistance to invading herbivores on the one side, and insect food specialization on the other, are the main subjects of this book.

Control of coleopteran insect pests through RNA interference

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ingestion of double-stranded (ds)RNAs supplied in an artificial diet triggers RNA interference in several coleopteran species, most notably the western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifiera LeConte, suggesting that the RNAi pathway can be exploited to control insect pests via in planta expression of a dsRNA.

Genome Sequence of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum

Stephen Richards, +223 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The genome of the pea aphid shows remarkable levels of gene duplication and equally remarkable gene absences that shed light on aspects of aphid biology, most especially its symbiosis with Buchnera.
