Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural
enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms. With increasing knowledge about these …

Plants emit a plethora of volatile organic compounds in response to biotic and abiotic
stresses. These compounds act as infochemicals for ecological communication in the …

Aphids transmit viruses and are destructive crop pests. Plants that have been attacked by
aphids release volatile compounds to elicit airborne defence (AD) in neighbouring plants …

Plant viruses possess adaptations for facilitating acquisition, retention, and inoculation by
vectors. Until recently, it was hypothesized that these adaptations are limited to virus …

The plant‐associated microbial community (microbiome) has an important role in plant–
plant communications. Plants decipher their complex habitat situations by sensing the …

Epidemiology is the science of how disease develops in populations, with applications in
human, animal and plant diseases. For plant diseases, epidemiology has developed as a …

Attacks on plants by both viruses and their vectors is common in nature. Yet the dynamics of
the plant–virus–vector tripartite system, in particular the effects of viral infection on plant …

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) often accompanies a short RNA molecule called a satellite
RNA (satRNA). When infected with CMV in the presence of Y-satellite RNA (Y-sat), tobacco …

Plant viruses face an array of host defenses. Well-studied responses that protect against
viruses include effector-triggered immunity, induced resistance (such as systemic acquired …

For more than 350 million years, there have been ongoing dynamic interactions between
plants and insects. In several cases, insects cause-specific feeding damage with ensuing …
