It is firmly established that plants respond to biotic and abiotic stimuli by emitting volatile
organic compounds (VOCs). These VOCs provide information on the physiological status of …

Insect eggs are exposed to a plethora of abiotic and biotic threats. Their survival depends on
both an innate developmental program and genetically determined protective traits provided …

To achieve ecological and reproductive success, plants need to mitigate a multitude of
stressors. The stressors encountered by plants are highly dynamic but typically vary …

In the past, breeding for incorporation of insect pest resistance or tolerance into cultivars for
use in integrated pest management schemes in oilseed rape/canola (Brassica napus) …

Plant defense priming involves the release of air-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
by plants, serving to prepare defense-related mechanisms against herbivores and …

In response to herbivory, plants emit volatile compounds that play important roles in plant
defense. Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can deter herbivores, recruit natural …

Insect egg deposition can induce plant defenses against their larvae. Previous studies have
primarily focused on herbaceous plant defenses; however, little is known about how the …

Plants can respond to eggs laid by herbivorous insects on their leaves by preparing
(priming) their defense against the hatching larvae. Egg-mediated priming of defense is …

While direct effects of biopesticides, such as those of plant and microbial origin, on various
organisms have been extensively documented, the interactions between biopesticides and …

Plants transmit ecologically relevant messages to neighbouring plants through chemical
cues. For instance, insect herbivory triggers the production of herbivore‐induced plant …
