TLDR
An overview of some genetic, physiological, behavioral, and ecological studies that will contribute to integration of plant and insect molecular genetics with coevolutionary ecology are presented and point to areas in need of study.Abstract:
The interactions of two economically important gall midge species, the rice gall midge and the Hessian fly, with their host plants, rice and wheat, respectively, are characterized by plant defense via R genes and insect adaptation via avr genes. The interaction of a third gall midge species, the orange wheat blossom midge, with wheat defense R genes has not yet exhibited insect adaptation. Because of the simple genetics underlying important aspects of these gall midge-grass interactions, a unique opportunity exists for integrating plant and insect molecular genetics with coevolutionary ecology. We present an overview of some genetic, physiological, behavioral, and ecological studies that will contribute to this integration and point to areas in need of study.read more

TL;DR: Herbivores have evolved diverse strategies to decrease the negative effects of plant defences in order to maximize the conversion of plant material into offspring, and the ability to suppress induced plant defences appears to occur across plant parasites from different kingdoms.

TL;DR: A draft sequence of the rice genome for the most widely cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp.indica, by whole-genome shotgun sequencing is produced, with a large proportion of rice genes with no recognizable homologs due to a gradient in the GC content of rice coding sequences.
