AbstractMature plants can detect and respond to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) by priming or directly activating defenses against future herbivores. Whether other plant life stages can respond to HIPVs in similar manners is poorly understood. For example, seeds are known to respond to a variety of environment cues that are essential for proper germination timing and survival. Seeds may also be exposed to HIPVs prior to germination, and such exposure may affect the growth, development, and defense profiles when the seeds grow into mature plants. Here, we investigated the effect of seed exposure to common HIPVs on growth, reproduction and defense characteristics in the model plants Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula. Of all the HIPVs tested, indole specifically reduced both beet armyworm growth on A. thaliana and pea 33 aphid fecundity on M. truncatula. Induction of defense genes was not affected by seed exposure to indole in either plant species, suggesting that seed priming operates independently of induced resistance. Moreover, neither species showed any negative effect of seed exposure to HIPVs on vegetative and reproductive growth. Rather, M. truncatula plants derived from seeds exposed to z-3-hexanol and z-3-hexenyl acetate grew faster and produced larger leaves compared to controls. Our results indicate that seeds are sensitive to specific HIPVs, which represents a novel ecological mechanism of plant-to-plant communication.

Tick paralysis continues to be one of the most baffling and fascinating tickborne diseases in Canada. It was first reported in this country by Todd in 1912. Since then about 250 human cases, including 28 deaths, have been recorded from British Columbia. Outbreaks in cattle have affected up to 400 animals at a time, with losses in a herd as high as 65 head. Although the disease is most common in the Pacific northwest, where it is caused by the Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, it has lately been reported as far south as Florida and has been produced by Dermacentor variabilis Say, Amblyomma maculatum Koch, and A. americanum (L.) (Gregson, 1953). The symptoms include a gradual ascending symmetrical flaccid paralysis. Apparently only man, sheep, cattle, dogs, and buffalo (one known instance) are susceptible, but even these may not necessarily be paralysed.
