Simple Summary Due to the banning of many synthetic pesticides, current intensive farming
systems require us to develop new approaches to integrated pest management. Devastating …

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 …

Phloem-feeding insects feed on plant phloem using their stylets. While ingesting phloem
sap, these insects secrete saliva to circumvent plant defenses. Previous studies have shown …

The molecular interactions between a pest and its host plant are the consequence of an
evolutionary arms race based on the perception of the phytophagous arthropod by the plant …

Jasmonic acid (JA) and its derived compound 'jasmonates' are a class of potent
phytohormones that play pivotal roles in plants' physio-biochemical processes during growth …

Living trees are the main source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in forest
ecosystems, but substantial emissions originate from leaf and wood litter, the rhizosphere …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPV s) mediate critical ecological functions, but no
studies have quantitatively synthesized data published on HIPV s to evaluate broad …

12-oxo-Phytodienoic acid (OPDA) is a primary precursor of (-)-jasmonic acid (JA), able to
trigger autonomous signaling pathways that regulate a unique subset of jasmonate …

Herbivore-associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) enable plants to recognize herbivores
and may help plants adjust their defense responses. Here, we report on herbivore-induced …

In the last decade, biological control programs for greenhouse tomatoes and other crops
have been successfully implemented using zoophytophagous plant bugs (Miridae), which …
