Abstract
Abstract Plants employ a variety of defence mechanisms, some of which act directly by having a negative effect on herbivores and others that act indirectly by attracting natural enemies of herbivores. In this study we asked if a common jasmonate‐signalling pathway links the regulation of direct and indirect defences in plants. We examined the performance of herbivores (direct defence) and the attraction of natural enemies of herbivores (indirect defence) to wild‐type tomato plants and mutant plants that are deficient in the production of the signalling hormone jasmonic acid. Wild‐type plants supported lower survivorship of caterpillars compared with jasmonic acid‐deficient plants. Damaged wild‐type plants were more attractive to predaceous mites compared with undamaged wild‐type plants, whereas damaged jasmonate‐deficient plants were not more attractive to predators. Damaged wild‐type plants induced a greater production of volatile compounds (primarily the sesquiterpene β‐caryophyllene and the monoterpenes α‐pinene, β‐pinene, 2‐carene and β‐phellandrene) compared with damaged jasmonate‐deficient plants. Treating jasmonate‐deficient plants with exogenous jasmonic acid restored both the direct and indirect defence capabilities, demonstrating that jasmonic acid is an essential regulatory component for the expression of direct and indirect plant defence.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
