Description
Grazing is a multiple-component process that includes wounding, defoliation, and saliva depositing. The molecular mechanism for how plants respond to grazing in grassland is a new topic. To address this question, we performed gene expression activities within 2 to 24 hours of grazing and proteomics analysis of rice seedling, examining hundreds of genes and proteins. Some key genes in GeneChips analysis specifically researched were β-amylase, LcSUT1, LcDREB3, and FEH gene. BSA (bovine serum albumin), an important and abundant component in saliva was used to study the saliva-plant interaction in grazing. Combined with corresponding gene and grazing research by other laboratories, this will advance our knowledge of the molecular interface of the grass-herbivore interaction.
