thermal performance
Temperature-dependent physiological and behavioral responses that affect organism fitness and population dynamics
oviposition host plant choice
The selection of specific plants by female insects for egg-laying that affects larval survival and development
jasmonic acid-salicylic acid crosstalk
Reciprocal antagonism between plant hormone pathways where jasmonic acid suppresses salicylic acid pathway and vice versa
systemic plant response
Plant ability to produce new volatile organic compounds or change other chemical characteristics when damaged, with these chemicals communicating damage to other parts of the same plant and other plan...
circadian clock
Internal biological timing system that maintains rhythmicity in a wide range of behavioral, physiological, and metabolic processes
reactive oxygen species
