Ecological Role of Volatiles Produced by Plants in Response to Damage by Herbivorous Insects

Abstract: Plants often release a blend of volatile organic compounds in response to damage by herbivorous insects that may serve as cues to locate those herbivores by natural enemies. The blend of compounds emitted by plants may be more variable than is generally assumed. The quantity and the composition of the blends may vary with the species of the herbivore, the plant species and genotype within species, the environmental conditions under which plants are grown, and the number of herbivore species attacking the plant… Show more

“…The precise function of these volatiles is unclear and remains the subject of considerable debate [78,79,80,81]. It is known that these volatiles are used by insects to locate plants on which to oviposit [75,82] or on which natural enemies find their prey or hosts [83,84,85,86].…”

“…There are concerns about direct effects on bees, which may be caused by the ingestion of proteins encoded by transgenes, if they are expressed in pollen and nectar (Han et al, 2010). Moreover, indirect effects may occur if plant transformation inadvertently changes flower phenotype, including volatile compounds (Hare, 2011), which could affect its attractiveness to pollinators (Arpaia et al, 2011).…”
