• The microRNA response associated with methyl jasmonate-induced resistance in Norway spruce bark 

      Wilkinson, Samuel; Vivian-Smith, Adam; Krokene, Paal; Magerøy, Melissa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05-15)
      Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment elicits induced resistance (IR) against pests and diseases in Norway spruce (Picea abies). We recently demonstrated using mRNA-seq that this MeJA-IR is associated with both a prolonged ...
    • Surviving in a Hostile World: Plant Strategies to Resist Pests and Diseases 

      Wilkinson, Samuel; Mageroy, Melissa; Sánchez, Ana López; Smith, Lisa M.; Furci, Leonardo; Cotton, T. E. Anne; Krokene, Paal; Ton, Jurriaan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-08)
      As primary producers, plants are under constant pressure to defend themselves against potentially deadly pathogens and herbivores. In this review, we describe short- and long-term strategies that enable plants to cope with ...
    • Transcriptomic changes during the establishment of long-term methyl jasmonate-induced resistance in Norway spruce 

      Wilkinson, Samuel; Dalen, Lars Sandved; Skrautvol, Thomas Olufsen; Ton, Jurriaan; Krokene, Paal; Mageroy, Melissa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-29)
      Norway spruce (Picea abies) is an economically and ecologically important tree species that grows across northern and central Europe. Treating Norway spruce with jasmonate has long-lasting beneficial effects on tree ...
