Molecular signatures in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to insect attack and bacterial infection.

<h4>Background</h4>Under the threat of global climatic change and food shortages, it is essential to take the initiative to obtain a comprehensive understanding of common and specific defence mechanisms existing in plant systems for protection against different types of biotic invaders....

We have implemented an integrated approach to analyse the overall transcriptomic reprogramming and systems-level defence responses in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana henceforth) during insect Brevicoryne brassicae (B. brassicae henceforth) and bacterial Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000 (P. syringae henceforth) attacks.

The defence response pathways, signalling pathways and metabolic processes associated with aphid attack and P. syringae infection partially overlapped.
