Sustainable agriculture is the most desired solution to ensure food security for the growing
world population and to face climate change. Furthermore, sustainable agriculture seeks …

Plants respond to environmental stimuli via the release of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and neighboring plants constantly monitor and respond to these VOCs with great …

Plants have evolved numerous constitutive and inducible defence mechanisms to cope with
biotic and abiotic stresses. These stresses induce the expression of various genes to …

Highlights•Environmental volatile cues can induce or suppress plant defenses.•Volatiles can
activate different defense signaling pathways.•Hormonal crosstalk is a possible mechanism …

Plant roots naturally associate with Trichoderma spp., which can promote plant health and
nutrition. Despite that Trichoderma spp. are well-known biocontrol agents, information on …

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles regulate defenses in undamaged neighboring plants.
Understanding the mechanisms by which plant volatiles are taken up, perceived, and …

Locating suitable feeding or oviposition sites is essential for insect survival. Understanding
how insects achieve this is crucial, not only for understanding the ecology and evolution of …

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 …

Plant responses to salinity have been long investigated. Nevertheless, how leaf metabolism
is affected, and what is the role of salicylic acid (SA) during salt stress remains elusive. Here …

Plant volatiles not only have multiple defense functions against herbivores, fungi, and
bacteria, but also have been implicated in signaling within the plant and toward other …
