“…In addition to their feeding pattern, compounds in the saliva or regurgitant of herbivores have a major effect on the interactions with the plant (19,30). Plants may distinguish the type of attacking herbivore by the perception of herbivore-associated elicitors (3,19,32), but herbivores may also suppress plant responses by elicitors in their saliva (33,34). The elicitors in saliva are often species-specific and diverse in structure (35,36).…”

Plants are exposed to a suite of herbivorous attackers that often arrive sequentially. Herbivory affects interactions between the host plants and subsequently attacking herbivores. Moreover, plants may respond to herbivory by emitting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that attract carnivorous natural enemies of the herbivores. However, information borne by VOCs is ubiquitous and may attract carnivores, such as parasitoids, that differ in their effectiveness at releasing the plant from its herbivorous attackers. Furthermore, the development of parasitoids within their herbivorous hosts, attacking a given host plant, may influence the elicitation of defensive reactions in the host plant. This may, in turn, affect the behavior of subsequent herbivores attacking the host plant. Here, we show that the species identity of a parasitoid had a more significant effect on defense responses of Brassica oleracea plants than the species identity of the herbivorous hosts of the parasitoids. Consequently, B. oleracea plants that were damaged by caterpillars (Pieris spp.) parasitized by different parasitoid species varied in the degree to which diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella) selected the plants for oviposition. Attracting parasitoids in general benefitted the plants by reducing diamondback moth colonization. However, the species of parasitoid that parasitized the herbivore significantly affected the magnitude of this benefit by its species-specific effect on herbivore-plant interactions mediated by caterpillar regurgitant. Our findings show that information-mediated indirect defense may lead to unpredictable consequences for plants when considering trait-mediated effects of parasitized caterpillars on the host plant and their consequences because of community-wide responses to induced plants.herbivore preference | induced gene transcription | parasitoid-dependent effect A cross their whole kingdom, plants have been found to interact with carnivorous arthropods that act to control herbivorous attackers of the plants. Such interactions between plants and carnivorous arthropods may ultimately increase fitness of the plants (1-3). Plant traits involved in such interactions include those that provide a predator/parasitoid with a resource such as, for example, food or shelter, or with information on the presence and abundance of herbivorous prey/hosts (4, 5). Although resource-and information-mediated indirect defenses of plants have long been collectively viewed within the context of ecological and evolutionary theory of indirect defenses, interactions between plants and carnivorous arthropods based on resource provisioning are distinctly different from those mediated by providing information (6). Whereas resource provisioning can be obligate and is often restricted to interactions with a limited number of carnivorous species, information emitted by herbivore-infested plants is generally ubiquitous, allowing all other organisms to respond to this information (5). Release of herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds (VOCs)...

“…On the other hand, herbivores have developed intricate strategies to suppress plant defensive responses (Musser et al 2002), and it has been proposed that they may do so already during oviposition in order to give to offspring an optimal start upon emergence (Hilker and Meiners 2010). Following this idea, it has recently been demonstrated that the application of crushed Pieris brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) eggs to Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) activates SAdependent defenses, which function against pathogens, but enhances larval growth of Spodoptera littoralis Boisd.…”

Plant volatiles function as important signals for herbivores, parasitoids, predators, and neighboring plants. Herbivore attack can dramatically increase plant volatile emissions in many species. However, plants do not only react to herbivore-inflicted damage, but also already start adjusting their metabolism upon egg deposition by insects. Several studies have found evidence that egg deposition itself can induce the release of volatiles, but little is known about the effects of oviposition on the volatiles released in response to subsequent herbivory. To study this we measured the effect of oviposition by Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) moths on constitutive and herbivore-induced volatiles in maize (Zea mays L.). Results demonstrate that egg deposition reduces the constitutive emission of volatiles and suppresses the typical burst of inducible volatiles following mechanical damage and application of caterpillar regurgitant, a treatment that mimics herbivory. We discuss the possible mechanisms responsible for reducing the plant's signaling capacity triggered by S. frugiperda oviposition and how suppression of volatile organic compounds can influence the interaction between the plant, the herbivore, and other organisms in its environment. Future studies should consider oviposition as a potential modulator of plant responses to insect herbivores.

“…Yumurtadan çıkan yavru bireylerin beslenmesi ve gelişerek yeni nesil verebilmeleri için ergin dişi bireyler, yumurta bırakacakları yeri özenle ararlar ve yumurtalarını en güvenli gördükleri yere bırakırlar (Pehlivan, 1981). Dişi birey yumurtalarını bitki üzerine bıraktıktan sonra, bitkiler bırakılan yumurtalara karşı doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak tepki gösterme eğiliminde bulunurlar (Hilker & Meiners, 2010). Bu durum öncelikle bitkinin morfolojisinden kaynaklanan tepki olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır.…”

SummaryInsects are in interactions with their host plants throughout their life. These interactions come out by the reason of the requirement of performing their vital activities, and they begin before adult female deposits eggs on the host plant. That is, insects do not have any interactions with their host plants only during actively feeding stages but also during egg stage. This interaction between the host plant and insect egg is not unidirectional. While the host plant affects insect egg quality and embryonic development, insect eggs can change the primary and secondary metabolites of the host plant. In this review, insect-host plant interactions are discussed and especially interactions between the host plant and insect eggs have been compiled. Also, the importance of these interactions have been attempted to be explained in terms of plant protection.Keywords: Insect egg, host plant, allomone, kairomone, synomone ÖzetBöcekler yaşamı boyunca konukçu bitkileri ile karşılıklı ilişki içerisindedirler. Bu ilişki böceklerin bir takım yaşamsal faaliyetlerini gerçekleştirme ihtiyacı nedeniyle ortaya çıkmakta ve henüz ergin dişi birey yumurtasını konukçu bitki üzerine bırakmadan önce başlamaktadır. Yani böcekler sadece aktif olduğu dönemde değil, yumurta döneminde de konukçu bitkileriyle ilişki içerisindedirler. Konukçu bitki ile böcek yumurtası arasındaki bu ilişkiler tek yönlü olmayıp, konukçu bitkiler böcek yumurtasının kalitesi ve embriyosunun gelişimini etkilerken, böcek yumurtaları da konukçu bitkinin primer ve sekonder metabolitlerini değiştirebilirler. Bu çalışmada böcek ile konukçu bitki arasındaki ilişkilere değinilmiş ve özellikle böcek yumurtası ile konukçu bitki arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Ayrıca bitki koruma açısından bu ilişkinin önemi açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
