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 …

Plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play pivotal roles in interactions with
insect herbivores. Individual VOCs can be directly toxic or deterrent, serve as signal …

By 2000, around 106 natural glucosinolates (GSLs) were probably documented. In the past
decade, 26 additional natural GSL structures have been elucidated and documented …

Application of organic soil amendments is a traditional control method for plant–parasitic
nematodes and it is considered a part of nematode-management programs. A variety of …

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary plant metabolites abundantly found in plant order
Brassicales. GSLs are constituted by an S-β-d-glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to …

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 …

Chloroplasts are key players in plant immune signaling, contributing to not only de novo
synthesis of defensive phytohormones but also the generation of reactive oxygen and …

Background Plants are hotbeds for parasites such as arthropod herbivores, which acquire
nutrients and energy from their hosts in order to grow and reproduce. Hence plants are …

Glucosinolates are a group of thioglucosides in plants of the Brassicales order. Together
with their hydrolytic enzymes, the myrosinases, they constitute the 'mustard oil …

The glucosinolate–myrosinase system found in plants of the Brassicales order is one of the
best studied plant chemical defenses. Glucosinolates and their hydrolytic enzymes …
