Abstract excerpt
Sowing date acts as a deterministic regulator of plant-pest phenological alignment, however, its mechanistic role in restructuring host physiological and metabolic networks remains inadequately resolved. This study deciphers how sowing time restructures photosynthetic performance, structural composition, and biochemical metabolism to mediate stem borer (Chilo partellus) infestation in sweet sorghum. Four...
