#Plant-Herbivore-Interactions
#Oak tree #transcriptomes respond differently to attacks by generalistic or specialistic herbivores. A new paper from our long-term partnership with #BirgitKersten, #HilkeSchroder & #MalteMadee from @thuenen.de Institute #ForestGenetics, @andreaghirardo.bsky.social
Modulation of the leaf transcriptome of Quercus robur by specialist and generalist herbivorous insects

#Survivor-Oaks… the #10 example of our work #PlantScience - 600 European oak genotypes from 7 German origins. We are searching for herbivory, powdery mildew & drought tolerant lines - today simulating herbivory by methyl jasmonate spraying - home work - terpene synthases & metabolomics, GWAS, IRMS
Drone image of a common garden plantation with 600 European oak genotypes from 7 German origins. Joint project with #ThuenenInstitute for Forest Genetiks… #HilkeSchroeder & #BirgitKersten. Closer look on 7 year old oaks from above with a drone. Close up view of oaks in a common garden. Rough terrain on a formerly storm damaged forest site in Northern Germany close to river Elbe.
