Unlabelled: Insect wounding activates a large number of signals that function coordinately to modulate gene expression and elicit defense responses. How each signal influences gene expression in absence of wounding is also important since it can shed light on changes occurring during the shift to wound response. Using simulated herbivory on chickpea, we had identified at least 14 WRKY genes that showed 5-50 fold increase in expression within 5-20 min of wounding.

This study aims at assessing the association of flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) polymorphisms, c.-69G>A (rs174538) and c.
