Jasmonic acid (JA) is crucial for plant stress responses, which rely on intercellular jasmonate transport. However, JA transporters have not been fully identified, especially in tomato ( L.). This study reveals that plasma-membrane-localized protein SlABCG9 in tomato regulates fruit resistance to . Transcriptomic analysis indicated that the expression was significantly upregulated after infection. Assays using oocytes, yeast cell sensitivity, and JA-inhibited primary root growth confirmed that SlABCG9 functions as a JA influx transporter. The knockout mutant lines of showed decreased JA contents, suppressed defense gene 's expression, reduced antioxidant enzyme activity, and severe disease symptoms compared to wild-type controls. Our findings provide new knowledge for understanding how the JA transporter and signaling pathway are involved in the biotic stress responses and improve the resistant ability against pathogen infections.

Upon recognizing elicitors derived from herbivores, many plants activate specific defenses. Most of the elicitors identified thus far are from the oral secretions and egg-laying fluids of herbivores; in contrast, herbivore fecal excreta have been sparsely studied in this context. In this study, we identified elicitors in the frass of the striped stem borer (SSB; Chilo suppressalis) larvae using a combination of molecular and chemical analyses, bioactivity tests and insect performance bioassays.

Introduction: Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a threat to the citrus production and causes severe economic losses to the citrus industry. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. Although ERF genes have been widely studied in model plants, little is known about their role in biological stress responses in fruit trees, such as citrus.

Tobacco is an economic crop that primarily relies on nitrate (NO) as its nitrogen source, and tobacco aphid is one of the significant pests that harm its growth. However, the impact of NO supply on the resistance of tobacco to aphids remains unclear. Present study investigated the effects of different NO concentrations supply on the reproductive capacity of tobacco aphids, impact of aphid infestation on tobacco growth, secondary metabolic and transcription changes.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important crop but frequently experiences saline-alkali stress. Our previous studies have shown that exogenous spermidine (Spd) could significantly enhance the saline-alkali resistance of tomato seedlings, in which a high concentration of Spd and jasmonic acid (JA) exerted important roles. However, the mechanism of Spd and JA accumulation remains unclear.
