Abstract Induced responses to above-ground and below-ground herbivores may interact via systemic signalling in plants. We investigated whether the impact of herbivory on root-knot nematode-induced depends nematode’s life cycle stages. Tomato plants were infected with nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) for 5, 15 or 30 days before receiving Spodoptera exigua caterpillars above-ground. collected root materials after 24 h caterpillar feeding. phytohormones α-tomatine levels, expression defence...
Plants mediate interactions between different herbivores that attack simultaneously or sequentially aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) organs. The local systemic activation of hormonal signaling pathways the concomitant accumulation defense metabolites underlie such AG-BG interactions. main plant-mediated mechanisms regulating these reciprocal via induced responses remain poorly understood. We investigated impact root infection by root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita at stages...
The availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies increased our understanding different genomes. However, the genomes all living organisms still have many unidentified coding sequences. number missing small open reading frames (sORFs) is due to length threshold used in most gene identification tools, which true genic and, more importantly and surprisingly, intergenic regions. Scanning cucumber genome regions revealed 420 723 sORF. We excluded 3850 sORF with similarities annotated...
