This review summarizes all known direct nontarget attack (NTA) cases of intentionally
released or actively redistributed weed biological control agents, in order to allow for an …

The sessile plant has developed mechanisms to survive the “rough and tumble” of its natural
surroundings, aided by its evolved innate immune system. Precise perception and rapid …

The plant microbiome can influence plant phenotype in diverse ways, yet microbial
contribution to plant volatile phenotype remains poorly understood. We examine the …

Biological volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are interlinked to biological metabolism and
bacterial populations localized on the surfaces of biological samples. The characteristics of …

As a very popular sample preparation technique, solid-phase microextraction (SPME)
coupled with various analytical instrumentation, has been widely used for the determination …

Thorough pre-release studies to determine the environmental safety of biocontrol agents
and to predict their effectiveness in controlling the target weed are crucial parts of any weed …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are metabolites emitted by living plants that
have a fundamental ecological role since they influence atmospheric chemistry, plant …

We review chemical ecology literature as it relates to biological control of weeds and discuss
how this means of controlling invasive plants could be enhanced by the consideration of …

Introduction Understanding the complex chemical signalling of plants and insects is an
important component of chemical ecology. Accordingly, the collection and analysis of …

Allelopathy, the release of chemicals by plants that inhibit the germination and growth of
competing species, can be an important trait for invasive success. However, little is known …
