Simple Summary Due to the banning of many synthetic pesticides, current intensive farming
systems require us to develop new approaches to integrated pest management. Devastating …

Attacks by herbivores elicit changes in the bouquet of volatiles released by plants. These
herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) have been interpreted as being indirect defenses …

Leaves normally release small quantities of volatile chemicals, but when a plant is damaged
by herbivorous insects, many more volatiles are released. The chemical identity of the …

Characteristics of higher plant terpenoids that result in mediation of numerous kinds of
ecological interactions are discussed as a framework for this Symposium on Chemical …

Biological control provides an environmentally safe, cost-effective and energyefficient
means of pest control, either alone or as a component of integrated pest management. The …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds produced by plants are involved in plant growth,
development, reproduction and defence. They also function as communication media within …

Plants often release a blend of volatile organic compounds in response to damage by
herbivorous insects that may serve as cues to locate those herbivores by natural enemies …

Many plants respond to herbivory by releasing a specific blend of volatiles that is attractive to
natural enemies of the herbivores. In corn (Zea mays), this induced odor blend is mainly …

Indirect responses are defensive strategies by which plants attract natural enemies of their
herbivores that act as plant defending agents. Such defences can be either constitutively …

Extreme climatic events, including drought, are predicted to increase in intensity, frequency,
and geographic extent as a consequence of global climate change. In general, to grow …
