The glutamate receptor‐like GLR2.7 modulates insect egg‐induced defense responses in Arabidopsis Upon perception of insect eggs, Arabidopsis thaliana activates a generic immune response that culminates in cell death (hypersensitive-like response (HR-like)). While this response can subsequently .....
