Abstract
Abstract The hypothesis that the sulfhydryl reagent, N‐ethylmaleimide, would function as an elicitor of alterable resistance in soybean ( Glycine max ) plants to Trichoplusia ni herbivory was tested experimentally under greenhouse conditions. This elicitory chemical, which allows receptor thiols to add across its carbon‐carbon double bond, altered the resistance in one or more leaves of plants at one or more intervals after treatment; and thus yielded results supporting the hypothesis. Leaf dipping and soil application were both effective methods of treatment. Results support the interpretation that an elicitor may function in intact plants by altering the integrity of sulfhydryl groups in receptor macromolecules which are also involved in signaling a change in the plant's biosynthesis of characteristic defensive compounds such as phenyl‐propanoids including antifeedant and antibiotic flavonoids. Induced feeding non‐preference by T. ni was highly correlated positively with the amount of glyceollins in the leaf.
