The Key Role of Plant Hormone Signaling Transduction and Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathways in the Response of Chinese Pine (Pinus tabuliformis) to Feeding Stimulation by Pine Caterpillar (Dendrolimus tabulaeformis).
Chinese pine trees respond to caterpillar feeding by altering hormone levels, gene expression, and metabolites. Findings shed light on plant resistance mechanisms, specifically how JA activates, aiding in understanding conifer defense against insects.
