Multiple evolutionary events in host plant adaptation in Lepidoptera Open
The evolution of insect host adaptation is a key component of insect-plant coevolution, a complex process often shaped by multiple evolutionary events. In this study, we identified two UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) genes, SfruUGT33T10 and …

Leaf biomechanical traits predict litter decomposability Open
Leaf biomechanical strength is important not only in plant defence strategies but also in “after‐life” effects—determining leaf‐litter decomposability. It is a composite metric that can be evaluated by fracturing a leaf using multiple meth…

The fall armyworm converts maize endophytes into its own probiotics to detoxify benzoxazinoids and promote caterpillar growth Open
FAW can convert maize endophytes into its own probiotics to detoxify Bxs and thus enhance caterpillar growth. This represents a novel strategy for lepidopteran pests-transforming allies of the host into its own-thereby shedding light on th…

Jasmonate-mediated gibberellin catabolism constrains growth during herbivore attack in rice Open
Plant defense against herbivores is costly and often associated with growth repression. The phytohormone jasmonate (JA) plays a central role in prioritizing defense over growth during herbivore attack, but the underlying mechanisms remain …

Leaf mechanical properties as potential predictors of leaf-litter decomposability Open
The mechanical resistance of plant leaves to herbivores and physical disturbances have a lasting legacy impact on leaf-litter decomposition rates and nutrient leaching. However, in the past, leaf mechanics were seldom considered as key fac…

The glutamate receptor-like 3.3 and 3.6 mediate systemic resistance to insect herbivores in Arabidopsis Open
Herbivory activates responses in local and systemic leaves, and the glutamate receptor-like genes GLR3.3 and GLR3.6 are critical in leaf-to-leaf systemic signalling. However, whether and how these genes mediate plant systemic resistance to…

Transcriptomic Responses of Fall Armyworms (Spodoptera frugiperda) Feeding on a Resistant Maize Inbred Line Xi502 with High Benzoxazinoid Content Open
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a devastating invasive insect herbivore. Its success on its preferred host plant, maize (Zea mays), is supported by numerous specialized detoxification mechanisms that suppress the defense respo…

A chromosome‐scale <i>Gastrodia elata</i> genome and large‐scale comparative genomic analysis indicate convergent evolution by gene loss in mycoheterotrophic and parasitic plants Open
Summary Mycoheterotrophic and parasitic plants are heterotrophic and parasitize on fungi and plants, respectively, to obtain nutrients. Large‐scale comparative genomics analysis has not been conducted in mycoheterotrophic or parasitic plan…

The race goes on: A fall armyworm-resistant maize inbred line influences insect oral secretion elicitation activity and nullifies herbivore suppression of plant defense Open
Summary Fall armyworm ( Spodoptera frugiperda ) is an invasive lepidopteran pest with strong feeding preference towards maize ( Zea mays ). Its success on maize is facilitated by a suite of specialized detoxification and manipulation mecha…

<i>Mythimna separata</i> herbivory primes maize resistance in systemic leaves Open
Biotic and abiotic cues can trigger priming in plants, which enables plants to respond to subsequent challenge with stronger and/or faster responses. It is well known that herbivory activates defense-related responses in systemic leaves. H…
