Water stress and aphid feeding differentially influence metabolite composition in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.).

Little is known about how drought stress influences plant secondary metabolite accumulation and how this affects plant defense against different aphids. We therefore cultivated Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) plants under well-watered, drought, and water-logged conditions. Two aphid species were selected...
