Gene expression and glucosinolate accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to generalist and specialist herbivores of different feeding guilds and the role of defense signaling pathways

Herbivory by various insect species on Arabidopsis elicited different types of changes in glucosinolate levels and transcripts of glucosinolate biosynthetic genes. Experiments with signaling mutants suggested involvement of jasmonate, salicylate and ethylene signaling in these responses.
