Abstract:
Despite its critical role in repelling damaging insects, our understanding of nonhost resistance against herbivores remains very limited. Recently, Bai et al. identified a novel caffeoylputrescine-green leaf volatile (GLV) compound in wild tobacco plants that confers nonhost resistance to Empoasca leafhoppers through high-throughput multi-omics analyses.

01:57Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
26.4K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

02:26Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores

Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.

Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.
