Description
Bruno Henrique Sardinha de Souza and co-authors ask, in a 2026 study, whether soybean plants bitten by caterpillars become tougher for the next caterpillars, comparing one resistant and one susceptible variety. Leaf damage, caterpillar survival and weight, defense enzyme activity, protective compounds, and plant growth were measured after earlier feeding injury.
Earlier injury reduced feeding and survival in patterns that depended on variety. The resistant variety carried higher baseline levels of several defense enzymes, and injury raised one protective inhibitor only in that variety. Certain flavonoid compounds marked each variety, yet injury did not raise them, and growth carried no clear cost. Breeders get a nuanced picture of which defenses switch on after attack.
