Plant terrestrialization necessitated overcoming a barrage of stressors. Embryophytes (land plants) use an integrated response network to adjust their molecular physiology in response to terrestrial stressors—one of the important stressors is UV irradiance. The zygnematophytes are the closest str...
Root mutualistic microbes can modulate the production of plant secondary metabolites affecting plant–herbivore interactions. Still, the main mechanisms underlying the impact of root mutualists on herbivore performance remain ambiguous. In particular, little is known about how changes in the plant...
