Phi-class glutathione-S-transferase is involved in Dn1-mediated resistance.
TL;DR: Three HR-associated candidate genes in Dn1 containing wheat were silenced using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS): thylakoid-associated ascorbate peroxidase (tAPX), phi-class glutathione-S-transferase (TaGSTF6) and superoxide dismutase Cu/Zn (SOD).

TL;DR: The ability to photosynthesise (i.e., to utilize solar energy for conversion into chemical energy) is a distinguishing characteristic unique to plants, algae and photoautotrophic bacteria as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This study is the first report on the successful use of VIGS to investigate genes involved in wheat-insect interactions and implies that WKRY53 and PAL play key roles in generating a successful resistance response.
