Diuraphis noxia (Russian wheat aphid, RWA) is a major pest on wheat in South Africa and most other wheat growing countries. Being a probing-sucking insect, RWAs insert their stylets into the phloem sieve elements and feed on the phloem sap. This feeding causes necrotic lesions in resistant varieties, or decoloration of leaves and death in susceptible varieties. In an effort to broaden our understanding...
Exogenous sucrose confers to Arabidopsis seedlings a very high level of tolerance to the herbicide atrazine that cannot be ascribed to photoheterotrophic growth. Important differences of atrazine tolerance between sucrose and glucose treatments showed that activation of chloroplast biogenesis per se could not account for induced tolerance. Sucrose-induced acquisition of defence mechanisms was shown...
