Abstract excerpt
Thrips are tiny, cell-content-feeding insects that are a major pest on crops and ornamentals. Besides causing direct feeding damage, thrips may also cause indirect damage by vectoring tospoviruses. Novel resistance mechanisms to thrips need to be discovered and validated. Induction of jasmonic acid-dependent defenses has been demonstrated to be essential for resistance to thrips, but underlying mechanisms still...
