“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that exogenous biotic and abiotic elicitors have been used to induce host plant defense against F. occidentalis , for example, Pseudomonas syringae , coronatine [ 10 ], jasmonic acid (JA) [ 3 , 35 ], salicylic acid (SA) [ 36 ], ultraviolet [ 37 ], light intensity [ 38 ], nitrogen fertilizer [ 39 ], CO 2 [ 40 ], secondary substances (α-ionone, eugenol, thymol, carvacrol and alkaloids, etc.) [ 41 , 42 ], and protein inhibitors [ 43 ]. In the present study, Ca treatment on kidney bean plants also influenced the population parameters and preference of F. occidentalis .…”
