Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Pti5 in tomato was transcriptionally upregulated in response to the potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae.
- Intervention effect Virus-induced gene silencing of Pti5 enhanced aphid population growth on an aphid-susceptible tomato cultivar.
- Intervention effect Virus-induced gene silencing of Pti5 enhanced aphid population growth on a near-isogenic tomato genotype carrying the Mi-1.2 resistance gene.
- Mechanism Pti5 contributed to antibiotic plant defences that limited aphid survival and reproduction on both resistant (Mi-1.2+) and susceptible (Mi-1.2-) tomato genotypes.
- Mechanism Ethylene signalling promoted aphid infestation on susceptible tomato plants.
- Mechanism Ethylene signalling contributed to antixenotic defences that deterred the early stages of aphid host selection on resistant tomato plants.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that antixenotic defences inhibiting aphid settling and antibiotic defences depressing fecundity and promoting mortality are regulated through different signalling pathways.
