Herbivory by Striped Stem Borer Triggers Polyamine Accumulation in Host Rice Plants to Promote Its Larval Growth.

Polyamines (PAs) are ubiquitous low-molecular-weight aliphatic polycations in all living organisms, which are crucial for plant response to abiotic and biotic stresses. The role of PAs in plant disease resistance has been well documented. However, their involvement in plant-pest interactions remains unclear.

Waterlogging Tolerance of Is Associated with High Activities of Pyruvate Decarboxylase, Alcohol Dehydrogenase and Antioxidant Enzymes.

Kiwifruit ( spp.) is susceptible to waterlogging stress. Although abundant wild germplasm resources exist among plants for improving the waterlogging tolerance of kiwifruit cultivars, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.
