[内容紹介]

In nature, plants accumulate various ultraviolet (UV) light absorbing compounds to protect themselves from UV exposure, as it can cause serious damage to nucleic acids and other components in unprotected cells. By investigating the responses of tobacco plants growing in the presence and absence of UV-B in the field, we found that UV absorbing phenolic compounds acquired additional role in protecting plants against herbivores, such as cell-sucking mirid bugs. It shows that UV-B, although dangerous for plants, can also have some beneficial effects that lead to better protection from herbivores in nature. In addition to phenolic compounds, another class of well-known defense compounds, diterpene glycosides accumulated differentially under UV-B and non-UV-B conditions.(文責 Group of Plant-Insect Interactions・Ivan Galis)
