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' …

In their defence against pathogens, herbivorous insects, and mites, plants employ many
induced responses. One of these responses is the induced emission of volatiles upon …

Brassica crops are grown worldwide for oil, food and feed purposes, and constitute a
significant economic value due to their nutritional, medicinal, bioindustrial, biocontrol and …

Drought events are predicted to increase due to climate change, yet consequences for plant–
insect interactions are only partially understood. Drought‐mediated interactions between …

Allocation of resources to growth and defense against herbivores crucially affects plant
competitiveness and survival, resulting in a specific distribution of assimilates and defense …

Herbivore feeding induces plants to emit volatiles that are detectable and reliable cues for
foraging parasitoids, which allows them to perform oriented host searching. We investigated …

There is increasing evidence that volatiles emitted by herbivore-damaged plants can cause
responses in downwind undamaged neighboring plants, such as the attraction of …

Many induced responses in plants are systemic. Therefore, root-induced responses may
alter leaf quality for shoot herbivores. Previously, we found that root and shoot application of …

Herbivory induces direct resistance responses in plants that negatively affect subsequently
colonizing herbivores. Moreover, eggs of herbivorous insects can also activate plant …
