The native rice leaf folder can enhance rice resistance against the invasive fall armyworm by inducing the jasmonate‐mediated tryptophan metabolism pathway
Our findings reveal a potential mechanism whereby native herbivore attack induces the jasmonate and tryptophan metabolic pathways, thereby enhancing rice resistance to the invasive FAW. This provides mechanistic evidence for plant-mediated biotic resistance and identifies the JA pathway and tryptophan-derived metabolites as targets for sustainable pest management. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
