Differential display‐reverse transcriptase PCR (DDRT‐PCR) and subtractive hybridization
with magnetic beads (SHMB) procedures were modified to compare the transcriptional …

Plants make drastic changes to their transcriptome to appropriately respond to
environmental change, and the regulation of genes that are specific to abiotic and biotic …

Phytohormones mediate the perception of insect-specific signals and the elicitation of
defenses during insect attack. Large-scale changes in a plant's transcriptome ensue, but …

The success in the response of a plant to a pest depends on the regulatory networks that
connect plant perception and plant response. Meta-analyses of transcriptomic responses …

For plants, insect attack is a complex stimulus which can be divided into three conceptual
phases: pest recognition, signal transduction and deployment of defenses. Here we give an …

Generalist arthropod herbivores rapidly adapt to a broad range of host plants. However, the
extent of transcriptional reprogramming in the herbivore and its hosts associated with …

Abstract Model systems have proven enormously useful in elucidating the biochemical
function of plant genes. However their ecological function, having been sculpted by …

Field experiments with transgenic plants often reveal the functional significance of genetic
traits that are important for the performance of the plants in their natural environments. Until …

1. Large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal that a plant's primary
metabolism is reconfigured when herbivores attack. However, unbiased means of …

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 …
