Summary: This study investigated the effect of glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene knockdown on the adaptive ability of western flower thrips to plant defenses. The results showed that RNAi downregulation of FoGSTd1 and FoGSTs1 reduced the anti-adaptive ability of western flower thrips to plant defenses.

Summary: Jasmonate hormone plays a crucial role in various aspects of plant life, including development and defense. Extensive research has been conducted on jasmonate biosynthesis, signal transduction, and its functions in different plant processes. There is significant crosstalk between jasmonate pathway and other phytohormone pathways, which needs further investigation in monocot plants.

Summary: Plants detect and respond to the proximity of competitors using light signals perceived by photoreceptor proteins. Different photoreceptors help plants optimize their developmental configuration and resource allocation patterns in the canopy by controlling major regulatory nodes for growth and development. Understanding these mechanisms is important for breeding programs and manipulating light environments in agriculture.

Summary: This study identified GhWRKY33 as a negative regulator in plant defense against V. dahliae. It functions through the JA-mediated signaling pathway and interacts with GhJAZ3. Overexpression of GhWRKY33 and GhJAZ3 decreases plant tolerance to V. dahliae.

Summary: Global warming will affect the growth conditions for plants and crops in high latitude regions, causing changes in the composition of plant and pest communities. Chemical defense compounds and phytohormone jasmonate may play a crucial role in this process. The pilot study provides support for these hypotheses.

Summary: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and herbivory-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are important mediators of information transfer between plant tissues. Recent research has provided mechanistic insights into how plants emit and perceive VOCs, explaining how they integrate different types of information and how environmental noise affects information transmission. Furthermore, VOC-mediated plant-plant interactions have diverse functions that impact organismal interactions, as well as population, community, and ecosystem dynamics. These findings suggest that plant populations can evolve different communication strategies depending on their interaction environment.

Summary: Integrating repeated elicitor treatments into the current IPM strategy can enhance plant resilience against pests, reducing damage caused by thrips, spider mites, whitefly, and aphids. Despite variations in efficacy throughout the plant growth cycle, the application of MeJA showed a consistent decrease in thrips damage compared to control. These findings suggest that elicitor applications can be an effective component of an integrated approach to sustainable crop protection.

Summary: Supplemental UV radiation can enhance chrysanthemum plant resistance to Western flower thrips, with shorter exposure times proving more effective while longer exposure times have the opposite effect. The induction of plant resistance to thrips by UV is genotype-dependent and can persist after treatment, but is not passed on to the next generation. UV exposure slightly affects leaf metabolome and enhances the induction of defense mechanisms against thrips in chrysanthemum plants.

Summary: This study demonstrated that soil cadmium (Cd) stress can significantly induce leaf volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in Populus yunnanensis, and the released VOCs are less attractive to both specialist and generalist herbivores. Furthermore, the herbivores' odor selection and oviposition preference were negatively correlated with leaf total VOC emissions, confirming the defensive role of Cd-induced VOCs. This finding expands our understanding of the Elemental defense hypothesis and provides new insights into predicting herbivore damage in metal-polluted habitats.

Summary: A library of all stereochemical isomers of coronatine was constructed to identify subtype-selective agonists for COI1-JAZ co-receptors in Arabidopsis thaliana and Solanum lycopersicum. The study highlights the challenge of dissecting the specific functions of receptor subtypes in gene families encoding plant hormone receptors. The identification of subtype-selective agonists is crucial for understanding the responses regulated by individual receptor subtypes.

Summary: Plants synchronize flowering with changes in internal and external environments through various signaling pathways to maximize fitness. The jasmonate signaling pathway plays an important role in the determination of flowering time, and interacts with other signals such as gibberellin, defense, etc.

Summary: The onion thrips, a key pest of onion crops worldwide, showed a preference for the wild species Allium roylei Stearn compared to cultivated onion varieties. This research highlights the importance of considering wild cultivars for breeding programs aimed at improving disease and pest resistance in onions.
