The study of plant defence mechanisms can lead to the discovery of new strategies for crop protection against insects. To this aim, the first step is the characterization of the genes that are involved in plant defence mechanisms. Aphids are among the most damaging pests in temperate climates. These insects evolved the ability to establish a prolonged feeding site on plant tissues, most likely because of their predicted ability to deceive plant defence mechanisms. A recent transcriptomic study indicated that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has a dynamic transcriptional response following Macrosiphum euphorbiae attack. In that study, a probe annotated as NIMIN 2C, was among the genes with the higher level of expression. In Arabidopsis NIMIN ge...
