ATP Hydrolyzing Salivary Enzymes of Caterpillars Suppress Plant Defenses
The oral secretions of herbivores are important recognition cues that can be used by plants to mediate induced defenses. In this study, a degradation of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) in tomato leaves was detected after treatment with Helicoverpa zea saliva. Correspondingly, a high level of ATPase activity in saliva was detected and three ATP hydrolyzing enzymes: apyrase, ATP synthase and ATPa...
متن کاملA Specialist Herbivore Uses Chemical Camouflage to Overcome the Defenses of an Ant-Plant Mutualism
Many plants and ants engage in mutualisms where plants provide food and shelter to the ants in exchange for protection against herbivores and competitors. Although several species of herbivores thwart ant defenses and extract resources from the plants, the mechanisms that allow these herbivores to avoid attack are poorly understood. The specialist insect herbivore, Piezogaster reclusus (Hemipte...
متن کاملTri-trophic effects of plant defenses: chickadees consume caterpillars based on host leaf chemistry
Few studies have addressed how plant chemical defenses that directly affect herbivores in turn affect consumption patterns of vertebrates at higher trophic levels. We studied how variable foliar chemistry of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) affects the diet preferences of an avian insectivore feeding on an introduced herbivore, the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.). Black-capped chic...
متن کاملHairless but no longer clueless: understanding glandular trichome development
Glandular trichomes are remarkable biochemical factories that produce a wealth of secondary metabolites important for plant defenses against herbivores. However, little is known about their developmental biology. Studying the tomato hairless mutant, which develops distorted glandular trichomes and has compromised metabolic and defense capacity, Kang et al. (pages 5313–5324 in this issue) showed...
متن کاملComparative functional genomic analysis of Solanum glandular trichome types.
Glandular trichomes play important roles in protecting plants from biotic attack by producing defensive compounds. We investigated the metabolic profiles and transcriptomes to characterize the differences between different glandular trichome types in several domesticated and wild Solanum species: Solanum lycopersicum (glandular trichome types 1, 6, and 7), Solanum habrochaites (types 1, 4, and ...
