Ethylene Signaling Mediates a Maize Defense Response to Insect Herbivory

The signaling pathways that enable plants to mount defenses against insect herbivores are known to be complex. It was previously demonstrated that the insect-resistant maize (Zea mays L.) genotype Mp708 accumulates a unique defense cysteine proteinase, Mir1-CP, in response to caterpillar feeding. In...
