Silicon: A bio stimulant for plant defence against herbivores

Herbivorous performance mainly depends on the defensive and nutritional traits of the plants they consume. Herbivory can inhibit plant growth and yield, or may affect plant responses at morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular levels. Plants have developed complex anatomical, physiological and biochemica...

Herbivory leaves a soil-borne defensive legacy that recruits parasitoids.

How organisms convert short-term stress into long-term defense is a key ecological question. Classic herbivore-induced plant volatiles recruit natural enemies but act briefly only in damaged tissues. Here, we report that leaf herbivory establishes a persistent soil defensive legacy to help uninfested subsequent plants...

Cold Plasma for Inducing Plant Defence Responses against Insect Herbivores

Insect herbivores cause substantial crop losses worldwide, necessitating sustainable alternatives to chemical insecticides. Cold plasma, a non-thermal ionised gas rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), has emerged as a promising technology for stimulating plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and a...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

This study describes a key ecological function of HIPVs: the attraction of natural enemies of herbivorous insects and synthesizes evidence on the exogenous application of jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and related compounds, focusing on their effects on herbivores and their natural enemies.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

ABSTRACT Stomata play important roles in plant responses to phytopathogens, but less is known about their roles in plant‐herbivore interactions. Herbivore damage commonly closes stomata but also elicits the release of herbivory‐induced plant volatiles, important mediators of plant‐herbivore interactions. Here, we exami...

Symbiont effectors modulate plant signaling to increase host stress resilience

Plant colonizing mutualistic symbionts confer beneficial effects to their hosts, which often includes increased growth, and biotic and abiotic stress resilience. How these benefits are activated on a molecular level is mostly unknown. Here, we describe effector candidates of the fungal symbiont Serendipita indica (Si),...
