Exotic invasive plants are present in almost all terrestrial ecosystems. Their spread and
ability to colonize new habitats are predicted to increase with human travel, global trade …

Plants have evolved distinct defense strategies in response to a diverse range of chewing
and sucking insect herbivory. While chewing insect herbivores, exemplified by caterpillars …

The glucosinolate–myrosinase system is the main activated chemical defence present
among plants of the order Brassicales, which includes agriculturally important crucifer crops …

Brassicales release volatile glucosinolate breakdown products upon tissue mechanical
damage, but it is unclear how the release of glucosinolate volatiles responds to abiotic …

Headspace solid microextraction (HS-SPME) and GC-MS were used to investigate volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) from cabbage plants infested and uninfested with green peach …

Volatiles play important roles in the recruitment of arthropod natural enemies, and are widely
used in foraging by the multicolored Asian lady beetle Harmonia axyridis Pallas …

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved different strategies to defend themselves against
various biotic stressors. An important aspect of the complex response of plants to biotic …

Biotic stress can induce plastic changes in fitness-relevant plant traits. Recently, it has been
shown that such changes can be transmitted to subsequent generations. However, the …

Aggregations of the striped flea beetle Phyllotreta striolata on their crucifer host plants are
mediated by volatiles emitted from feeding males. The male-specific sesquiterpene,(6 R, 7 …

Herbivores emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) after feeding on plants. Parasitoids
exploit these VOCs as odor cues to locate their hosts. In nature, host-related odors are …
