“…The millions of years of dynamic co-existence and relentless competition for survival has led plants to evolve complex strategies to survive against the onslaught of damaging insect herbivores [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], primarily mediated through tolerance and resistance mechanisms [ 4 , 5 ]. While resistance traits assist plants to prevent the attack of insects, tolerance allows them to combat herbivory or offset fitness consequences by increasing the photosynthetic activity at the damaged site, and utilization of stored resources for compensatory growth [ 4 ].…”

There is no argument to the fact that insect herbivores cause significant losses to plant productivity in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. To counter this continuous onslaught, plants have evolved a suite of direct and indirect, constitutive and induced, chemical and physical defenses, and secondary metabolites are a key group that facilitates these defenses. Polyphenols—widely distributed in flowering plants—are the major group of such biologically active secondary metabolites. Recent advances in analytical chemistry and metabolomics have provided an opportunity to dig deep into extraction and quantification of plant-based natural products with insecticidal/insect deterrent activity, a potential sustainable pest management strategy. However, we currently lack an updated review of their multifunctional roles in insect-plant interactions, especially focusing on their insect deterrent or antifeedant properties. This review focuses on the role of polyphenols in plant-insect interactions and plant defenses including their structure, induction, regulation, and their anti-feeding and toxicity effects. Details on mechanisms underlying these interactions and localization of these compounds are discussed in the context of insect-plant interactions, current findings, and potential avenues for future research in this area.

“…Different tree species will harbor different associated taxa and turnover in fungal and insect communities might be predicted by differences in host traits 20 , 21 or by phylogenetic relatedness 19 , which reflects the adaptation of these organisms to their hosts during long periods of co-evolution 21 , 22 . A phylogenetic signal in host association, i.e., a higher community similarity between closely related hosts, was previously shown for tree fungi 23 – 25 as well as for herbivorous insects 26 .…”

Non-native pests, climate change, and their interactions are likely to alter relationships between trees and tree-associated organisms with consequences for forest health. To understand and predict such changes, factors structuring tree-associated communities need to be determined. Here, we analysed the data consisting of records of insects and fungi collected from dormant twigs from 155 tree species at 51 botanical gardens or arboreta in 32 countries. Generalized dissimilarity models revealed similar relative importance of studied climatic, host-related and geographic factors on differences in tree-associated communities. Mean annual temperature, phylogenetic distance between hosts and geographic distance between locations were the major drivers of dissimilarities. The increasing importance of high temperatures on differences in studied communities indicate that climate change could affect tree-associated organisms directly and indirectly through host range shifts. Insect and fungal communities were more similar between closely related vs. distant hosts suggesting that host range shifts may facilitate the emergence of new pests. Moreover, dissimilarities among tree-associated communities increased with geographic distance indicating that human-mediated transport may serve as a pathway of the introductions of new pests. The results of this study highlight the need to limit the establishment of tree pests and increase the resilience of forest ecosystems to changes in climate.

Las especies de Eucalyptus son ampliamente plantadas en Chile debido a su rápido crecimiento y adaptabilidad. Sin embargo, la producción y sostenibilidad de plantaciones se ven amenazadas por factores como la escasa disponibilidad de agua y su susceptibilidad a plagas. En esta tesis doctoral se realizó el estudio de la incidencia de la sequía y defoliación por el insecto Gonipterus platensis sobre el metabolismo especializado de árboles de distintas especies de Eucalyptus a través de un enfoque metabolómico basado en UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. Se incluyeron las especies de mayor interés comercial, E. globulus, E. nitens, y la especie híbrida E. nitens × E. globulus. Los resultados sugieren que existe una diferencia constitutiva entre E. globulus y E. nitens, predisponia la susceptibilidad frente al ataque de G. platensis. Se evidenció la ausencia de enzimas claves en la especie susceptible E. globulus, como la estilbeno sintasa (STS) y la galato 1-β-glucosiltransferasa. Por otra parte, los resultados metabolómicos del ensayo de estrés hídrico en especies de Eucalyptus, demostró efectos negativos en la biosíntesis de fenilpropanoides, como flavonoles y estilbenos. Pero también se observó que la sequía inducia la regulación de fitoanticipinas en plantas estresadas sugiriendo la preparación para el ataque de plagas.
