Extracellular vesicles in plant defense against insect pests

Life Sciences - Dec 20, 2024
Life Sciences

A recent study conducted on melon plants has revealed a defense mechanism that certain plants activate to deal with insect pests. It is a system of signaling molecules that, distributed through extracellular vesicles - including exosomes - allow plants to adapt their defenses according to the level of stress they are under. The results obtained and published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles open new avenues for the development of sustainable methods of crop protection.
