Plants respond to herbivore attack by launching 2 types of defenses: direct defense and
indirect defense. Direct defense includes all plant traits that increase the resistance of host …

Plants can respond to feeding or egg deposition by herbivorous arthropods by changing the
volatile blend that they emit. These herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can attract …

Abstract Oximes (R 1 R 2 C= NOH) are nitrogen-containing chemical constituents that are
formed in species representing all kingdoms of life. In plants, oximes are positioned at …

Many Liriomyza species are pests of agricultural and ornamental plants. In the past two
decades, the occurrence and distribution of certain Liriomyza species have changed …

After herbivory, plants release volatile organic compounds from damaged foliage as well as
from nearby undamaged leaves that attract herbivore enemies. Little is known about what …

Aldoximes are known as floral and vegetative plant volatiles but also as biosynthetic
intermediates for other plant defense compounds. While the cytochrome P450 …

Background Plant volatiles play an important role in defending plants against insect attacks
by attracting their natural enemies. For example, green leaf volatiles (GLVs) and terpenoids …

In our study, we investigated some physiological and ecological aspects of the life of
Cuscuta racemosa Mart.(Convolvulaceae) plants with the hypothesis that they recognise …

There are more than 330 Liriomyza species (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and many are
economically important pests of field crops, ornamentals and vegetables. Given the …

Silicon (Si) accumulation in plants is widely recognised as an effective physical defence
against chewing herbivores. However, its effects on some feeding guilds such as cell …
