Abstract:IntroductionThe primary metabolism of plants, which is mediated by nitrogen, is closely related to the defense response to insect herbivores.MethodsAn experimental system was established to examine how nitrogen mediated tomato resistance to an insect herbivore, the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis). All tomatoes were randomly assigned to the suitable nitrogen (control, CK) treatment, nitrogen excess (NE) treatment and nitrogen deficiency (ND) treatment.ResultsWe found that nitrogen excess significantly … Show more
