Insect herbivory time-course reveals unique temporal transcriptomic responses in resistant and susceptible grapevines
Grapevine (Vitis) is a crop of global importance. Insect pests, such as Popillia japonica (Japanese beetle), threaten yields of this high value crop. Vitis labrusca (accession ‘GREM4’) exhibits the highly-advantageous trait of resistance to Japanese beetles while Vitis vinifera is susceptible (cultivar ‘PN40024’). Here...
