Differential Contributions of MYCs to Insect Defense Reveals Flavonoids Alleviating Growth Inhibition Caused by Wounding in Arabidopsis

In Arabidopsis, basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors (TFs) MYC2, MYC3, and MYC4 are involved in many biological processes, such as defense against insects. We found that despite functional redundancy, MYC-related mutants displayed different resistance to cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera...
