Insect egg-induced innate immunity: Who benefits?

Abstract excerpt

Plants perceive the presence of insect eggs deposited on leaves as a cue of imminent herbivore attack. Consequential plant signaling events include the accumulation of salicylic acid and reactive oxygen species, transcriptional reprogramming, and cell death. Interestingly, egg-induced innate immunity shows similarities with immune responses triggered upon recognition of microbial pathogens, and in recent years,...
