Song Y, Zeng R, Xu J, Li J, Shen X, Yihdego W
PLoS One . 2010 Oct; 5(10):e13324. PMID: 20967206
Plants can defend themselves to pathogen and herbivore attack by responding to chemical signals that are emitted by attacked plants. It is well established that such signals can be transferred...

Zeng R, Wen Z, Niu G, Schuler M, Berenbaum M
J Chem Ecol . 2009 May; 35(5):526-32. PMID: 19430966
The inducibility of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and other xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes is thought to reflect material and energy costs of biosynthesis. Efforts to detect such costs of detoxification enzyme induction,...

Wen Z, Zeng R, Niu G, Berenbaum M, Schuler M
J Chem Ecol . 2009 Feb; 35(2):183-9. PMID: 19198946
The polyphagous corn earworm Helicoverpa zea relies on cytochrome P450 monooxygenases with broad substrate specificities to cope with the wide diversity of phytochemicals it encounters among its numerous host plants....

Niu G, Wen Z, Rupasinghe S, Zeng R, Berenbaum M, Schuler M
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol . 2008 Jul; 69(1):32-45. PMID: 18615618
The polyphagous corn earworm Helicoverpa zea frequently encounters aflatoxins, mycotoxins produced by the pathogens Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, which infect many of this herbivore's host plants. While aflatoxin B1...

Bi H, Zeng R, Su L, An M, Luo S
J Chem Ecol . 2007 Apr; 33(5):1089-103. PMID: 17415624
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA) are important signaling molecules that induce plant defense against insect herbivores and microbial pathogens. We tested the hypothesis that allelopathy is an inducible...

Zeng R, Wen Z, Niu G, Schuler M, Berenbaum M
J Chem Ecol . 2007 Jan; 33(3):449-61. PMID: 17216359
Polyphagous herbivores encounter allelochemicals as complex mixtures in their host plants, and the toxicity of an individual compound may be influenced by the chemical matrix in which it is encountered....

Zeng R, Zeng R, Niu G, Wen Z, Schuler M, Berenbaum M
J Chem Ecol . 2006 Jul; 32(7):1459-71. PMID: 16830213
Infestation of corn (Zea mays) by corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) predisposes the plant to infection by Aspergillus fungi and concomitant contamination with the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Although effects...

Zeng R, Mallik A
J Chem Ecol . 2006 May; 32(7):1473-89. PMID: 16718563
Allelopathy has been implicated as a factor contributing toward failure of black spruce (Picea mariana) regeneration in Kalmia angustifolia-dominated sites in eastern Canada. Several phenolic acids of Kalmia origin inhibit...

Zeng R, Mallik A, Setliff E
J Chem Ecol . 2003 Aug; 29(6):1337-55. PMID: 12918920
Brassicaceae plants are nonmycorrhizal. They were found to inhibit VA mycorrhizal infection in their host plants. We tested if they can influence growth of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. When roots and...
