Plants being sessile entities are often subjected to varied environmental stresses. They have
developed an alternative defense mechanism that involves a vast variety of secondary …

Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural
enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms. With increasing knowledge about these …

Ever since the first plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) were isolated and identified,
questions about their ecological functions and diversity have been raised. Recent advances …

The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) has been accepted and incorporated in
public policies and regulations in the European Union and elsewhere, but a holistic science …

Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for insects and their olfactory environment is
mostly made up of plant-emitted volatiles. The terrestrial vegetation produces an amazing …

The phytobiome is composed of plants, their environment, and diverse interacting
microscopic and macroscopic organisms, which together influence plant health and …

Plant volatiles comprise thousands of molecules from multiple metabolic pathways,
distinguished by sufficient vapor pressure to evaporate into the headspace under normal …

Insect intraspecific olfactory communication occurs in a complex sensory environment. Here
we present recent results on how the olfactory system extracts specific information from a …
