Trichomes are differentiated epidermal cells on above ground organs of nearly all land
plants. They play important protective roles as structural defenses upon biotic attacks such …

Tomato wild relatives are important sources of resistance to many pests of cultivated tomato
[Solanum lycopersicum L.(syn. Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)]. Eleven wild tomato …

It has been reported that Arabidopsis thaliana leaf trichome can act as a mechanosensory
switch, transducing mechanical stimuli into physiological signals, mainly through a buckling …

1. Trichome‐producing (hairy) and trichomeless (glabrous) plants of Arabidopsis halleri
subsp. gemmifera were investigated to test whether plant resistance to herbivory depends …

Based on the accumulation of evidence, the risk of herbivory depends not only on the traits
of a plant but also on those of neighboring plants. Despite the potential importance of …

Selfing can evolve if the transmission advantage of selfers outweighs the negative effects of
inbreeding depression. It has been hypothesised that on the long term, selfing lineages are …

Plants invest a substantial fraction of their resources into defence against herbivores, with
the highest levels of defence often allocated only to the most valuable tissues. Plants in the …

Trichomes are hair-like structures derived from plant epidermal cells. Trichomes exist in
most plant species and are categorized as either glandular or non-glandular. Glandular …

The evaluation and use of endogenous soybean genes is an effective strategy to minimize
the yield losses caused by insects. Allene oxide cyclase (AOC) catalyzes the most important …

A number of plant species are capable of develo** defensive traits against herbivores.
Associational effects refer to ecological interactions in which the herbivory risk on a focal …
