Reversing the escape from herbivory: Knockout of cardiac glycoside biosynthesis in wormseed wallflower ( Erysimum cheiranthoides L., Brassicaceae).

Wallflowers produce glucosinolates and cardiac glycosides to defend against herbivores. Knocking out enzymes involved in cardiac glycoside biosynthesis makes them susceptible to herbivory. Specialist herbivores are unable to feed on wallflowers without cardiac glycosides.
