Spider mite egg extract modifies Arabidopsis response to future infestations

Abstract Transcriptional plant responses are an important aspect of herbivore oviposition studies. However, most of our current knowledge is derived from studies using Lepidopteran models, where egg-laying and feeding are separate events in time. Little is known regarding plant response to pests whe...

description Abstract Transcriptional plant responses are an important aspect of herbivore oviposition studies.
