Testing the importance of jasmonate signalling in induction of plant defences upon cabbage aphid (<it>Brevicoryne brassicae</it>) attack

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Phloem-feeding aphids deprive plants of assimilates, but mostly manage to avoid causing the mechanical tissue damage inflicted by chewing insects. Nevertheless, jasmonate signalling that is induced by infestation is important in medi...
