… (Agilent) with the following program: 95C for 10 min, then 40 cycles of 10 sec at 95C, 20
sec at 55C and 17 sec at 60C. Relative mRNA abundance was normalized to the reference …

Insect eggs represent a threat for the plant as hatching larvae rapidly start with their feeding
activity. Using a whole-genome microarray, we studied the expression profile of Arabidopsis (…

… Control in a and c corresponds to untreated plants. d, Growth quantification of plants (n =
5 plants) shown in c. e, OPDA accumulation in Tak-1 and Mpcoi1-1 male plants (Mpcoi1-1 …

… the following program: 40 C for 5 min, 50 C for 50 min, and 70 C for 15 min. After a brief
centrifugation and a dilution in 75 μl water, cDNA was stored at –80 C until use. cDNA samples …

Because plants do not possess a defined germline, deleterious somatic mutations can be
passed to gametes, and a large number of cell divisions separating zygote from gamete …

Insect egg deposition activates plant defence, but very little is known about signalling events
that control this response. In Arabidopsis thaliana, oviposition by Pieris brassicae triggers …

In higher plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, omega-3 trienoic fatty acids (TFAs), represented
mainly by α-linolenic acid, serve as precursors of jasmonic acid (JA), a potent lipid signal …

… Plates were stored at 4C for stratification for 6 d and were then transferred to a growth room
(22C, photoperiod 10 h/14 h, relative humidity 65% and photosynthetic photon fluence rate …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants recognize insect eggs and activate the salicylic
acid ( SA ) pathway. As a consequence, expression of defense genes regulated by the …

Plants induce defense responses after insect egg deposition, but very little is known about
the perception mechanisms. In Arabidopsis thaliana, eggs of the specialist insect Pieris …
