MetabolomicsBiochemical changes in Robinia pseudoacacia leaflets in dependence of leaf mining, plant age and location

Plant responses to leaf-mining insects are still poorly studied, especially in woody species. Robinia pseudoacacia is widely cultivated in Ukraine, where it is not native. There, the trees are facing increasing damage from the likewise introduced leaf miner species Parectopa robiniel...

MetabolomicsHighly Species-Specific Foliar Metabolomes of Diverse Woody Species and Relationships with the Leaf Economics Spectrum
Plants show an extraordinary diversity in chemical composition and are characterized by different functional traits. However, relationships between the foliar primary and specialized metabolism in terms of metabolite numbers and composition as well as links with the leaf economics spectrum have rare...

MetabolomicsUnique metabolism of different glucosinolates in larvae and adults of a leaf beetle specialised on Brassicaceae
Brassicaceae plants contain glucosinolates, which are hydrolysed by myrosinases to toxic products such as isothiocyanates and nitriles, acting as defences. Herbivores have evolved various detoxification strategies, which are reviewed here. Larvae of Phaedon cochleariae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) me...

MetabolomicsMetabolic fingerprinting reveals roles of Arabidopsis thaliana BGLU1, BGLU3, and BGLU4 in glycosylation of various flavonoids

Flavonoids are specialized metabolites that play important roles in plants, including interactions with the environment. The high structural diversity of this metabolite group is largely due to enzyme-mediated modifications of flavonoid core skeletons. In particular, glycosylation with different ...

MetabolomicsPrevious infestation by conspecifics leads to a transient increase of the performance of Sitobion avenae aphids on wheat leaves

1. The ecological niche of aphids is largely defined by the phloem sap of plants, which they consume. Previous studies revealed that aphids may change the phloem sap metabolome and that a previous aphid infestation may benefit them. As aphids reproduce parthenogenetically, the performance and pre...

MetabolomicsInsights into Metabolic Changes Caused by the Trichoderma virens-Maize Root Interaction
The interactions of crops with root-colonizing endophytic microorganisms are highly relevant to agriculture, because endophytes can modify plant resistance to pests and increase crop yields. We investigated the interactions between the host plant Zea mays and the endophytic fungus Trichode...

MetabolomicsWheat growth, applied water use efficiency and flag leaf metabolome under continuous and pulsed deficit irrigation

The intensity and frequency of precipitation events are predicted to change over the coming decades. For many areas, longer periods without rainfall are expected. We investigated the importance of irrigation frequency under water deficit conditions for growth, physiology and chemistry of wheat (<...
