Abiotic stresses and induced BVOCs

F Loreto, JP Schnitzler - Trends in plant science, 2010 - cell.com
Plants produce a wide spectrum of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in various
tissues above and below ground to communicate with other plants and organisms. However …

Multiple stress factors and the emission of plant VOCs

JK Holopainen, J Gershenzon - Trends in plant science, 2010 - cell.com
Individual biotic and abiotic stresses, such as high temperature, high light and herbivore

The specificity of herbivore-induced plant volatiles in attracting herbivore enemies

AC McCormick, SB Unsicker, J Gershenzon - Trends in plant science, 2012 - cell.com
Plants respond to herbivore attack by emitting complex mixtures of volatile compounds that
attract herbivore enemies, both predators and parasitoids. Here, we explore whether these …
