Abstract excerpt
Oxylipins derived from lipoxygenase (LOX) activity play important roles in plant growth, development and stress response. In a recent study, we provided evidence that infestation of Arabidopsis thaliana foliage by the green peach aphid (GPA; Myzus persicae), a phloem sap-consuming insect, was promoted by plant LOX5-derived oxylipins. In comparison to the wild-type (WT) plant, GPA population was smaller on the...
