Resilience and functionality of European Norway spruce forests are increasingly threatened
by mass outbreaks of the bark beetle Ips typographus promoted by heat, wind throw and …

Conifers have evolved complex oleoresin terpene defenses against herbivores and
pathogens. In co‐evolved bark beetles, conifer terpenes also serve chemo‐ecological …

Phytohormones, pivotal regulators of plant growth and development, are increasingly
recognized for their multifaceted roles in enhancing crop resilience against environmental …

Plants rely on a variety of ways to protect themselves from being fed upon, including de novo
production of specific compounds such as those termed as phenolics. Phenolics are often …

Drought has promoted large‐scale, insect‐induced tree mortality in recent years, with severe
consequences for ecosystem function, atmospheric processes, sustainable resources and …

As the largest class of natural products, terpenes have a variety of roles in mediating
antagonistic and beneficial interactions among organisms. They defend many species of …

Scolytine beetles show enormous diversity in their mating behaviors, host plant
associations, chemical and acoustic signaling, symbiotic relationships, and other critical …

Isoprenoids are a large and highly diverse group of natural products with many functions in
plant primary and secondary metabolism. Isoprenoids are synthesized from common prenyl …

We evaluated the ability of constitutive and inducible defenses to protect trees and restrict
herbivore reproduction across the endemic, incipient (ie, transitory), and eruptive phases of …

The peach–potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), is one of the most important pests of
economic crops. It damages the plant directly by consuming nutrients and water and …
