Impact of folivory on photosynthesis is greater than the sum of its holes. (1/6)
The effects of herbivores on plant production and fitness may not relate directly to the quantity of biomass removed because folivory may alter photosynthetic rates at a considerable distance from the damaged tissue [Welter, S. C. (1989) in Insect-Plant Interactions, ed. Bernays, E. A. (CRC, Boca Raton), pp. 135-151.]. An impediment to understanding the effects of leaf damage on photosynthesis has been an inability to map photosynthetic function within a single leaf. We developed an instrument for imaging chlorophyll fluorescence and used it to map the effects of caterpillar feeding on whole-leaf photosynthesis in wild parsnip. The adverse effects of caterpillar feeding on photosynthesis were found to extend well beyond the areas of the leaflet in which caterpillars removed tissue. These "indirectly" affected areas remained impaired for at least 3 days after the caterpillars were removed and were six times as large as the area directly damaged by the caterpillars. Although photosynthesis in indirectly affected areas was reduced and not eliminated, these areas accounted for three times as much of the overall reduction in photosynthesis as the area removed by the caterpillars. The size of the indirect effects was positively correlated with defense-related synthesis of furanocoumarins, suggesting that costs of chemical defense may be one factor that accounts for the indirect effects of herbivory on plants.

The ability of weeds to proliferate into nonindigenous habitats has been attributed to escape from their native natural enemies, allowing reallocation of resources from chemical defense into growth and reproduction. Many invasive weeds, however, eventually encounter their native, coevolved enemies in areas of introduction. Examination of herbarium specimens of an invasive phototoxic European weed, Pastinaca sativa, through 152 years reveals phytochemical shifts coincident in time with the accidental introduction of a major herbivore, the parsnip webworm, Depressaria pastinacella. Plants collected before the introduction of webworms in North America and during the earliest stages of establishment (1850-1889) are lower in toxic furanocoumarins than all plants subsequently collected in North America and lower than European plant samples collected before 1889. Thus, introduction of a major specialist herbivore can increase noxiousness of a species in its area of introduction, illuminating a potential consequence of classical biocontrol programs involving insect herbivores and poisonous weeds.

(3/6)
CYP6AB3v1, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase in Depressaria pastinacella (parsnip webworm), is highly specialized for metabolizing imperatorin, a toxic furanocoumarin in the apiaceous host plants of this insect. Cloning and heterologous expression of CYP6AB3v2, an allelic variant identified in D. pastinacella, reveals that it metabolizes imperatorin at a rate (V(max) of 10.02 pmol/min/pmol of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450)) significantly higher than CYP6AB3v1 (V(max) of 2.41 pmol/min/pmol) when supplemented with even low levels of cytochrome P450 reductase. Comparisons of the NADPH consumption rates for these variants indicate that CYP6AB3v2 utilizes this electron source at a faster rate than does CYP6AB3v1. Molecular modeling of the five amino acid differences between these variants and their potential interactions with P450 reductase suggests that replacement of Val(92) on the proximal face of CYP6AB3v1 with Ala(92) in CYP6AB3v2 affects interactions with P450 reductase so as to enhance its catalytic activity. Allelic variation at this locus potentially allows D. pastinacella to adapt to both intraspecific and interspecific variation in imperatorin concentrations in its host plants.

(+info)"Pastinaca" is the genus name for a group of plants that includes several species of carrots and parsnips. The most common species in this genus is "Pastinaca sativa," which is the wild ancestor of the modern domesticated carrot. It is also known as "wild carrot" or "Queen Anne's lace."
The term "Pastinaca" itself does not have a specific medical definition, but some compounds found in these plants have been studied for potential medicinal properties. For example, falcarinol and falcarindiol, two compounds found in carrots and parsnips, have been investigated for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits and establish safe and effective dosages.
It's important to note that while some plants in the Pastinaca genus may have medicinal properties, they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication.
