additional information |
construction of transgenic P35S:LapA tomato lines that are silenced in LapA or overexpress LapA. LapAManduca sexta larvae damage less foliage and display delays in growth and development when feeding on LapA-overexpressing transgenic plant leaves. Transgenic ectopic expression of LapA is not sufficient to induce Ser proteinase inhibitor Pin or polyphenol oxidase transcripts in non-wounded leaves. Larvae consume more foliage and attain larger masses when feeding on LapA-SI plants. Jasmonic acid does not complement the wound-signaling phenotype of LapA-SI plants. Phenotypes, overview |
