A beta-glucosidase of an insect herbivore determines both toxicity and deterrence of a dandelion defense metabolite

A beta-glucosidase of an insect herbivore determines both toxicity and deterrence of a dandelion defense metabolite

Gut enzymes can metabolize plant defense compounds and thereby affect the growth and fitness of insect herbivores. Whether these enzymes also influence feeding preference is largely unknown. We studied the metabolization of taraxinic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (TA-G), a sesquiterpene lactone of t...
