Plants respond to insect herbivory with the production of volatiles that attract carnivorous
enemies of the herbivores, a phenomenon called indirect defence or 'plants crying for help' …

Volatile organic compounds emitted by plants (pVOCs) protect themselves from abiotic and
biotic stresses. Plants are under constant threats from biotic stress especially herbivores …

Maize crops are exposed to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses, which induce the
disruption of plant metabolism and affect crop yield and quality. An increase in drought or …

Entomopathogenic fungi are gaining acceptance in Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
systems as effective and environmental safety biological control agents to protect a great …

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles affect the systemic response of plants to local damage and
hence represent potential plant hormones. These signals can also lead to “plant-plant …

The vast spectrum of inducible plant defenses can have direct negative effects on
herbivores, or indirect effects, for instance in the form of herbivore-induced plant volatiles …

Plants emit volatile compounds that can act as a communication method to insects,
neighboring plants and pathogens. Plants respond to leaf and root damage by herbivores …

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) …

Nitrogen-fixing rhizobia can substantially influence plant–herbivore interactions by altering
plant chemical composition and food quality. However, the effects of rhizobia on plant …

An imminent food crisis reinforces the need for novel strategies to increase crop yields
worldwide. Effective control of pest insects should be part of such strategies, preferentially …
