Key message This article describes the composition of root exudates, how these metabolites
are released to the rhizosphere and their importance in the recruitment of beneficial …

Aphids are important herbivores of both wild and cultivated plants. Plants rely on unique
mechanisms of recognition, signalling and defence to cope with the specialized mode of …

Growth, reproduction, and geographical distribution of plants are profoundly influenced by
their physiological ecology: the interaction with the surrounding physical, chemical, and …

The rhizosphere encompasses the millimeters of soil surrounding a plant root where
complex biological and ecological processes occur. This review describes recent advances …

We review the concepts and research associated with measuring fear and its consequences
for foraging. When foraging, animals should and do demand hazardous duty pay. They …

Many plants respond to herbivory by releasing a specific blend of volatiles that is attractive to
natural enemies of the herbivores. In corn (Zea mays), this induced odor blend is mainly …

Plants can defend themselves to pathogen and herbivore attack by responding to chemical
signals that are emitted by attacked plants. It is well established that such signals can be …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Plants can respond to feeding or egg deposition by herbivorous arthropods by changing the
volatile blend that they emit. These herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can attract …

Many aphids are major agricultural pests because of their unparalleled reproductive
capacity and their ability to manipulate host plant physiology. Aphid population growth and …
