  • Title: Herbivore-associated elicitors: FAC signaling and metabolism.
    Author: Bonaventure G, VanDoorn A, Baldwin IT.
    Journal: Trends Plant Sci; 2011 Jun; 16(6):294-9. PubMed ID: 21354852.
    Abstract:
    The recognition of insect and pathogen attack requires the plant's ability to perceive chemical cues generated by the attacker. In contrast to the recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns and effectors, little is known about the molecular recognition of herbivore-associated elicitors (HAEs) and the signaling mechanisms operating in plants after their perception. HAE perception depends strongly on the natural history of both plants and insects and it is therefore expected that many of the responses induced by different HAEs are specific to the species involved in the interaction. The interaction between Nicotiana attenuata and the specialist lepidopteran Manduca sexta presents a relevant biological system to understand HAE perception and signal transduction systems in plants.
