Abstract excerpt
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations can affect the induced defense of plants against herbivory by chewing insects, but little is known about whether elevated CO2 can change the inducible defense of plants against herbivory by aphids, which are phloem-sucking rather than tissue-chewing insects. Interactions between the green peach aphid Myzus persicae and four isogenic Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes including...
