PLANTS KNOW WHERE IT HURTS: ROOT AND SHOOT JASMONIC ACID INDUCTION ELICIT DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSES IN BRASSICA OLERACEA.

Plants know where it hurts: root and shoot jasmonic acid induction elicit differential responses in Brassica oleracea.

Plants respond to herbivore attack by rapidly inducing defenses that are mainly regulated by jasmonic acid (JA).Due to the systemic nature of induced defenses, attack by root herbivores can also result in a shoot response and vice versa, causing interactions between above- and belowground herbivores.However, little is known about the molecular mech

Aerosol chemical composition at Cabauw, The Netherlands as observed in two intensive periods in May 2008 and March 2009

Observations of aerosol chemical composition in Cabauw, the Netherlands, are presented for two intensive measurement periods in May 2008 and March 2009.Sub-micron aerosol chemical composition was measured by an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) and is compared to observations from aerosol size distribution measurements as well as composition
