N2 - <p>A novel front-line of plant defence is the killing of herbivorous insect eggs with an HR reponse. We test whether this HR-based egg-killing plant trait has an evolutionary basis in the plant–insect arms-race.&nbsp;We studied the phylogenetic distribution of this trait, its egg-killing effect on and elicitation by butterflies, by screening 31 Brassicales species, and nine Pieridae species.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>This dataset is part of Chapter 2 of the PhD thesis "<a href="https://doi.org/10.18174/575127" target="_blank">E(gg)xit strategy of plant defense: Evolution and genetics of a butterfly egg-triggered cell death</a>"</p>
