TL;DR

Findings indicate that VOC-mediated signaling of defenses is strong in young cotton plants but weakens during development in pre-reproductive juvenile plants, and that this is reflected in both direct and indirect defense responses.

Herbivore-induced sorghum volatiles mediate attraction of Cotesia flavipes: roles of DMNT and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate in tritrophic chemical communication

These findings demonstrate laboratory behavioral activity of candidate sorghum HIPVs toward C. flavipes, and DMNT and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate represent candidate semiochemicals warranting further validation under ecologically realistic conditions.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

This study describes a key ecological function of HIPVs: the attraction of natural enemies of herbivorous insects and synthesizes evidence on the exogenous application of jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and related compounds, focusing on their effects on herbivores and their natural enemies.

Transcriptomic responses of rice (Oryza sativa) during interaction with plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with systemic resistance to Burkholderia glumae

The results showed that HS09 activates key defense-related signaling pathways, particularly those mediated by jasmonic acid (JAMyb and MYC2) and ethylene (EIN3, EILs, and ERF transcription factors), and induction of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, promoting the production of antimicrobial secondary metabolite...

Volatile organic compound profiles in oat are shaped by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, barley yellow dwarf virus and soil herbicide residues

ABSTRACT Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by plants and vary in quantity and composition depending on biotic and abiotic environmental conditions. Plant-emitted VOCs are altered by attacking herbivores and pathogens, and have been increasingly found to be fine-tuned by microbial associates and environmenta...

The intensity and spatial dispersion of within-plant herbivory drive trait-specific resistance and tolerance in wild cotton.

PREMISE Herbivory induces complex plant defensive responses that may vary depending on the amount and spatial dispersion of damage on the plant; however, of the two variables, damage dispersion has received much less attention. To address this gap, we studied wild cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) defensive responses to diff...
