Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

There is no argument to the fact that insect herbivores cause significant losses to plant
productivity in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. To counter this continuous …

The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) has been accepted and incorporated in
public policies and regulations in the European Union and elsewhere, but a holistic science …

Transcription factors (TFs) play a significant role in signal transduction networks spanning
the perception of a stress signal and the expression of corresponding stress-responsive …

Simple Summary Due to the banning of many synthetic pesticides, current intensive farming
systems require us to develop new approaches to integrated pest management. Devastating …

Adaptive plant responses to specific abiotic stresses or biotic agents are fine-tuned by a
network of hormonal signaling cascades, including abscisic acid (ABA), ethylene, jasmonic …

Plants collectively produce hundreds of thousands of specialized metabolites that are not
required for growth or development. Each species has a qualitatively unique profile, with …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

In nature, plants have to cope with a wide range of stress conditions that often occur
simultaneously or in sequence. To investigate how plants cope with multi‐stress conditions …

Insects are associated with a plethora of different microbes of which we are only starting to
understand their role in shaping insect–plant interactions. Besides directly benefitting from …
