Insect herbivores rely on glutathione S-transferases (GST) to cope with host-derived secondary metabolites, yet the specific role of individual GST isoforms in mediating host adaptation remains poorly understood. Here, we characterized the sigma-class GST gene NlGSTs3 and its role in host plant adaptation of the brown...

ABSTRACT Root volatiles mediate diverse belowground interactions among plants, microbes, and invertebrates, but biological and environmental conditions strongly influence their production, movement, perception, and ecological effects. This review synthesizes current knowledge through an integrative conceptual framework...

Classical ecological theory predicts that herbivorous species are in competition when they share the same host plant, yet in agricultural systems certain pest insects can stably coexist on the same plant, and even perform better when they feed together than if they feed alone. As yet, the molecular mechanisms underlyin...
