Genome-wide associations of leaf spectral variation in MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuata

C. Li, E. A. Czyz, B. Schmid, R. Ray, R. Halitschke, I. T. Baldwin, M. E. Schaepman, M. C. Schuman

This study uses MAGIC lines of Nicotiana attenuata to associate genetic variation with leaf spectral variation, identifying a novel locus linked to red-edge and near-infrared reflectance.

Pre-zygotic mate selection affects progeny fitness and is only partially correlated with the expression of NaS-like RNases

P. Baraniecka, W. Seibt, K. Groten, D. Kessler, E. McGale, K. Gase, I. T. Baldwin, J. Pannell

The paper investigates how pre-zygotic mate selection in Nicotiana attenuata affects progeny fitness and links it to ethylene signaling and SLR gene expression.

Specific decorations of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides solve the autotoxicity problem of chemical defense in Nicotiana attenuata

S. Heiling, L. C. Llorca, J. Li, K. Gase, A. Schmidt, M. Schaefer, B. Schneider, R. Halitschke, E. Gaquerel, I. T. Baldwin

The paper identifies UGT enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of HGL-DTGs in Nicotiana attenuata and shows that glucosylation prevents autotoxicity while enhancing defense against herbivores.

Ethylene is a local modulator of jasmonate-dependent phenolamide accumulation during Manduca sexta herbivory in Nicotiana attenuata

F. Figon, I. T. Baldwin, E. Gaquerel

This study shows ethylene enhances jasmonate-dependent phenolamide production in locally damaged leaves of Nicotiana attenuata during herbivory by Manduca sexta.

Allelic differences of clustered terpene synthases contribute to correlated intra-specific variation of floral and herbivory induced volatiles in a wild tobacco

S. Xu, C. Kreitzer, E. McGale, N. D. Lackus, H. Guo, T. G. Koellner, M. C. Schuman, I. T. Baldwin, W. Zhou

The paper identifies allelic differences in terpene synthase genes that contribute to correlated variation in herbivory-induced and floral volatiles in wild tobacco.

Evolution of a novel and adaptive floral scent in wild tobacco

H. Guo, N. D. Lackus, T. G. Koellner, J. Bing, Y. Wang, I. T. Baldwin, S. Xu

This study identifies the genetic basis for the evolution of a novel floral scent in wild tobacco, showing how gene expression changes lead to adaptive volatile compound production.

Determining the scale at which variation in WUE traits changes population yields

E. McGale, H. de Aguiar Valim, D. Mittal, J. Morales Jimenez, R. Halitschke, M. C. Schuman, I. T. Baldwin

The paper investigates the scale at which variation in water-use efficiency (WUE) traits affects population yields, finding that effects occur at the population scale rather than the neighbor scale.

Capsidiol, a defensive sesquiterpene produced by wild tobacco in response to attack from the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata, is regulated by an ERF2-like transcription factor

S. Na, L. Ma, W. Wang, H. Sun, L. Wang, I. T. Baldwin, J. Wu

This study shows capsidiol, a phytoalexin in Nicotiana attenuata, enhances resistance to Alternaria alternata and is regulated by an ERF2-like transcription factor.
