The phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) mediates the pr incipal plant defense response pathway against caterpillar herbivory. Howe ver\, some larval species manipulate host plant responses leading to the a ttenuation of this induced resistance (IR). Although the exact mechanism o f the insect subversion of JA-mediated IR is not clearly understood\, effe ctors in the labial salivary secretions of generalist Noctuid caterpillars \, such as Spodoptera exigua\, are known to activate the salicylic acid (S A)-mediated pathway that antagonize JA responses. Since the caterpillar la bial saliva contains significant levels of oxido-reductive enzymes\, such as glucose oxidase\, it can manipulate cellular redox balance in plant tis sues. Similarly\, these effectors may activate the ethylene (ET) pathway l eading to the modulation of JA pathway.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø communit y is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating t he accomplishments of our PhD candidates.
