Overview – effect of time• Insect-plant interactions are dynamic and change over
time
▫Long timescale over which interactions have evolved contrasts with short time when interaction happens
▫The legacy of co-evolutionary history

DNA code has evolved over millions of years - subject to mutations that are deleterious or advantageous according to context- gene expression is modulated by epigenetic ‘stress imprints’

The different timescales associated with insect-plant interactions

Overview – effect of time• Order of exposure can change interaction
▫ INSECT: learning behaviour▫PLANT: induced defence
• Combination of plant cues at a point in time is important

Insect effectors supress or induce plant defence (depending if insect or plant is ‘ahead’)
Hogenhout & Bos (2011) Curr. Opin. Plant Biol. 14: 422
![Page 29: Seb bruce insect-plant interactions](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102823/5476c601b4af9fca128b4c2c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Defences:“constitutive”,“induced” and primed
Primed defence
plant is ready to mount quicker or stronger defences when subsequently attacked
Induced defence
these traits are always expressed
these traits need a signal to elicit them
- attacking organism
- volatile surrogate (plant activator)
Constitutive defence

cis-Jasmone
• Stress related volatile plant activator that induces defence mechanisms
• Identified from winter host volatiles of lettuce aphid, Nasonovia ribis-nigri
• Emitted by insect infested plants:– cotton plants damaged by Spodoptera– potato plants infested with potato aphid
• Biological effects observed >24h after spraying plants with cis-jasmone
• Non-toxic• No residue left as it is volatile

Disease can alter interaction
• Volatiles from Fusarium graminearum infested wheat are repellent to grain aphid, Sitobion avenae
• EAG active compounds: ▫ 2-pentadecanone, ▫ 2-heptanone, ▫ phenyl actetic acid, ▫ α-gurjunene, ▫ 2-tridecanone, ▫ α -cedrene

• Key behaviourally active compounds: ▫ 2-pentadecanone ▫ 2-heptanone

Conclusions
• Insect-plant interactions are complex and dynamic
•Time and space matter
•Combination of plant cues at a point in time is important
•History of exposure changes interaction
