This project explores the evolution of herbivore-induced plant defenses in the Nicotiana genus. It investigates the genetic basis of defense specificity and the evolutionary patterns of these traits to understand plant responses to herbivory.
Herbivore induced defence is widespread in plants and are likely to be species-specific.
The specificity has been suggested to be mediated by herbivore associated elicitors (HAE), however, how such specificity evolved and what are the underlying genetic bases are little understood.
Species of genus Nicotiana offered a suitable system to address these questions, because they distributed in great range of variation in habitat and evolved various specialized defence traits against herbivore.
