AI Article Synopsis
- Plants have developed various defenses against insect herbivores by changing their metabolism, growth, and development, mainly driven by networks of phytohormones.
- The gaseous phytohormone ethylene (ET) is crucial for these defenses, though its exact role in relation to insect attacks remains unclear, with evidence suggesting it can have both positive and negative effects.
- The review highlights recent findings on the interactions between ET and other phytohormones in responding to herbivory and discusses the potential of using exogenous ET treatments to enhance plant defenses.
Article Abstract
Plants have evolved to establish insect herbivory defences by modulating their metabolism, growth, and development. Precise networks of phytohormones are essential to induce those herbivory defences. Gaseous phytohormone ET plays an important role in forming herbivory defences. Its role in insect herbivory is not fully understood, but previous studies have shown that it can both positively and negatively regulate herbivory. This review presents recent findings on crosstalk between ET and other phytohormones in herbivory responses. Additionally, the use of exogenous ETH treatment to induce ET in response to herbivory is discussed.
