The plant immune system has been explored essentially through the study of qualitative
resistance, a simple form of immunity, and from a reductionist point of view. The recent …

Photoperiod-sensitive plants such as soybean (Glycine max) often face threats from
herbivorous insects throughout their whole growth period and especially during flowering; …

The focus of this review is on how plants respond to combinations of multiple air pollutants.
Global pollution trends, plant physiological responses and ecological perspectives in natural …

Ongoing global warming, coupled with increased drought frequencies, together with other
biotic drivers may have resulted in complex evolutionary adaptation. The resurrection …

Plant‐associated soil microbes are important mediators of plant defence responses to
diverse above‐ground pathogen and insect challengers. For example, closely related …

Insect herbivores are amongst the most destructive plant pests, damaging both naturally
occurring and domesticated plants. As sessile organisms, plants make use of structural and …

Plants are commonly exposed to abiotic and biotic stresses. We used 350 Arabidopsis
thaliana accessions grown under controlled conditions. We employed genome‐wide …

Pathogens are often the main selective agents acting in plant communities, thereby
influencing the distribution of polymorphism at loci affecting resistance within and among …

Plant phenotypes are the result of both genetic and environmental forces that act to
modulate trait expression. Over the last few years, numerous approaches in functional …

Background Genetic variation in plants alters insect abundance and community structure in
the field; however, little is known about the importance of a single gene among diverse plant …
