Knockout mutations of Nicotiana benthamiana defenses reveal the relative importance of acylsugars, nicotine, and a serine protease inhibitor in a natural setting

The paper evaluates the defensive roles of nicotine, acylsugars, and a serine protease inhibitor in Nicotiana benthamiana by comparing plant performance in natural and controlled settings.

Cardiac glycosides protect wormseed wallflower (Erysimum cheiranthoides) against some, but not all, glucosinolate-adapted herbivores

The paper investigates how cardiac glycosides in Erysimum cheiranthoides affect herbivore interactions, finding they protect against some but not all glucosinolate-tolerant herbivores.
