Plants synthesize an amazing diversity of volatile organic compounds (VOC s) that facilitate
interactions with their environment, from attracting pollinators and seed dispersers to …

Main conclusion Terpenoids play several physiological and ecological functions in plant life
through direct and indirect plant defenses and also in human society because of their …

Volatile compounds are usually associated with an appearance/presence in the
atmosphere. Recent advances, however, indicated that the soil is a huge reservoir and …

Plants emit a plethora of volatile organic compounds in response to biotic and abiotic
stresses. These compounds act as infochemicals for ecological communication in the …

Background Aboveground, plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that act as
chemical signals between neighbouring plants. It is now well documented that VOCs emitted …

Sustainable agriculture is the most desired solution to ensure food security for the growing
world population and to face climate change. Furthermore, sustainable agriculture seeks …

Background Plants, though sessile, employ various strategies to defend themselves against
herbivorous insects and convey signals of an impending herbivore attack to other plant (s) …

The dazzling variation in plant chemistry is a primary mediator of trophic interactions,
including herbivory, predation, parasitism, and disease. At the same time, such interactions …

Volatile compounds play important roles in rhizosphere biological communications and
interactions. The emission of plant and microbial volatiles is a dynamic phenomenon that is …

The salicylic acid pathway is one of the primary plant defense pathways, is ubiquitous in
vascular plants, and plays a role in rapid adaptions to dynamic abiotic and biotic stress. Its …
