New progress has been made in the research on the defense mechanism of tea pests after feeding

Recently, the research group of Professor Song Chuankui of the State Key Laboratory of Tea Biology and Resource Utilization of Anhui Agricultural University and the research group of Researcher Sun Xiaoling of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences jointly published the title "Plant, Cell & Environment (Impact Factor 7.

In the long-term co-evolution, plants have formed a variety of defense strategies with pests

In this study, the research team found that when tea plants are fed by tea looper larvae, they release a variety of volatile substances, which can improve the repellent ability of neighboring plants against tea looper adults (especially the females after mating)
