Combined Jasmonic Acid and Ethylene Treatment Induces Resistance Effect in Faba Bean Plants Against Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae).

ABSTRACT: Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a serious invasive pest in China. In this study, we determined whether exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene (ET) treatments could induce resistance against F. occidentalis in faba bean plants. First, we investigated the effects of different concentrations of JA or ET alone on F. occidentalis and then assessed the effects of optimal concentrations of JA and ET combined. Our results showed that the optimal concertation of JA was 2 mmol/L and ET was 0.5 mmol/L. JA + ET mixture showed the greatest inhibitory effect in terms of oviposition and feeding. JA with ET was found to induce changes in the activities of lipoxygenase (LOX), allene oxide synthase (AOS), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), 1-aminocyclopropan
