Soybean aphids exploit abscisic acid signaling to suppress jasmonate defense responses

Jessica D. Hohenstein, Charles Kanobe, Ibore Natukunda Martha, Patricia Gallardo, Dandan Zhang, Nik Kovinich, Anjel M. Helms, John F. Tooker, Gustavo C. MacIntosh

This study shows soybean aphids suppress plant jasmonate defenses by inducing abscisic acid signaling, which antagonizes jasmonate responses.
