Spraying calcium chloride helps to enhance the resistance of kidney bean plants to western flower thrips
Our findings demonstrate that the application of exogenous Ca enhances endogenous Ca<sup>2+</sup>, JA, and SA signaling pathways in kidney bean plants. This enhancement results in an up-regulation of the biosynthesis of flavonoid and alkaloid, thereby equipping the plants with an enhanced defense against WFT infestation. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
