Excellence in Research: Phytohormones and Heat-Induced Loss of Wheat Resistance to Hessian Fly
Heat stress can compromise plant resistance to insects, but the mechanism of the heat stress-induced loss of host plants remains largely unknown. Overwhelming evidence have indicated that phytohormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), and auxin play critical roles in plants' response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
