وراثت مقاومت سفیدبالک گلخانه، Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)، به دو ترکیب ایمیداکلوپرید و کلرپایریفوس مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. در این پژوهش، از جمعیت فیلستان ورامین (FL) عنوان والد مقاوم فردیس کرج (FR) حساس استفاده شد. مقدار ترتیب حدودا 62/13 91/14 برابر بود. عدم وجود اختلاف معنی‌دار LC50 روی تلاقی‌های F1 (R♂×S♀) Fʹ1 (R♀×S♂) نشان داد که T. نوع اتوزومی (غیرجنسی) است. ه...

Transcript patterns elicited in response to attack reveal, at the molecular level, how plants respond to aggressors. These patterns are fashioned both by inflicted physical damage as well as by biological components displayed or released by the attacker. Different types of attacking organisms might therefore be expected to elicit different transcription programs in the host. Using a large-scale...

Light is an important modulator of plant immune responses. Here, we show that inactivation of the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB) by a low red/far-red ratio (R:FR), which is a signal of competition in plant canopies, down-regulates the expression of defense markers induced by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea, including the genes that encode the transcription factor ETHYLENE RESPONSE ...

In the interaction between Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and the generalist herbivorous insect Spodoptera littoralis, little is known about early events in defense signaling and their link to downstream phytohormone pathways. S. littoralis oral secretions induced both Ca and phytohormone elevation in Arabidopsis. Plant gene expression induced by oral secretions revealed upregulation of a g...

Background and aims Plant soluble sugars, as main components of primary metabolism, are thought to be implicated in defence against pathogenic fungi. However, the function of sucrose and hexoses remains unclear. This study aimed to identify robust patterns in the dynamics of soluble sugars in sink tissues of tomato plants during the course of infection by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinere...

Glucosinolate accumulation and expression of glucosinolate biosynthetic genes were studied in response to four herbivores in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) wild-type (Columbia) and mutant lines affected in defense signaling. Herbivory on wild-type plants led to increased aliphatic glucosinolate content for three of four herbivores tested, the aphid generalist Myzus persicae (Sulzer), the aphid speci...

Jasmonates are ubiquitously occurring plant growth regulators with high structural diversity that mediate numerous developmental processes and stress responses. We have recently identified 12-O-β-D-glucopyranosyljasmonic acid as the bioactive metabolite, leaf-closing factor (LCF), which induced nyctinastic leaf closure of Samanea saman. We demonstrate that leaf closure of isolated Samanea pinna...
