Plants Attract Parasitic Wasps to Defend Themselves against Insect Pests by Releasing Hexenol
BACKGROUND Plant volatiles play an important role in defending plants against insect attacks by attracting their natural enemies. For example, green leaf volatiles (GLVs) and terpenoids emitted from herbivore-damaged plants were found to be important in the host location of parasitic wasps. However, evidence of the functional roles and mechanisms of these semio-chemicals from a system of multip...
متن کاملHow bacteria protect themselves against channel-forming colicins.
Here we review the mechanisms that bacterial cells use to protect themselves against channel-forming colicins. Four mechanisms are examined: immunity, resistance, tolerance and PacB character. Immunity confers protection to colicinogenic cells against the colicin they produce, since the colicinogenic plasmid bears the genetic determinant for such immunity protein. Resistance is provided by modi...
متن کاملOperation Restoration: How Can Patent Holders Protect Themselves from Medimmune?

متن کاملGravity Perception: How Plants Stand up for Themselves
Gravity provides a basic polarity for the development, growth and environmental response of plants. Shoots grow up toward a source of light, while roots grow down toward sources of water, nutrients and structural support. Though plant gravitropism has been a topic of research for two centuries [1], the molecular nature of the gravity signaling pathway remains largely unknown. Recent genetic and...
متن کاملBehaviors used by men to protect themselves against prostate cancer.
This paper reports on behaviors men use to protect themselves against prostate cancer. Data were collected via a telephone or mailed survey from 353 men enrolled in two studies of prostate cancer screening. Respondents reported behaviors they used to protect themselves against prostate cancer, and responses were coded as conventional care, self-care, or nothing. Men who reported using both conv...
