The induction of plant defenses by insect feeding is regulated via
multiple signaling cascades. One of them, ethylene signaling, increases
susceptibility of Arabidopsis to the generalist herbivore Egyptian
cotton worm (Spodoptera littoralis; Lepidoptera:
Noctuidae). The hookless1 mutation, which affects a
downstream component of ethylene signaling, conferred resistance to
Egyptian cotton worm as compared with wild-type plants. Likewise,
ein2, a mutant in a central component of the ethylene
signaling pathway, caused enhanced resistance to Egyptian cotton worm
that was similar in magnitude to hookless1. Moreover,
pretreatment of plants with ethephon (2-chloroethanephosphonic acid), a
chemical that releases ethylene, elevated plant susceptibility to
Egyptian cotton worm. By contrast, these mutations in the
ethylene-signaling pathway had no detectable effects on diamondback
moth (Plutella xylostella) feeding. It is surprising
that this is not due to nonactivation of defense signaling, because
diamondback moth does induce genes that relate to wound-response
pathways. Of these wound-related genes, jasmonic acid regulates a novel
-glucosidase 1 (BGL1), whereas ethylene controls a
putative calcium-binding elongation factor hand protein. These results
suggest that a specialist insect herbivore triggers general
wound-response pathways in Arabidopsis but, unlike a generalist
herbivore, does not react to ethylene-mediated physiological changes.
