Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivore-infested plants selectively attract parasitoids
TL;DR: The production by phylogenetically diverse plant species and the exploitation by parasitoids of highly specific chemical signals, keyed to individual herbivore species, indicates that the interaction between plants and the natural enemies of the herbivores that attack them is more sophisticated than previously realized.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Elicitor of Plant Volatiles from Beet Armyworm Oral Secretion
Hans T. Alborn,Ted C. J. Turlings,Ted C. J. Turlings,Ted C. J. Turlings,T. H. Jones,T. H. Jones,T. H. Jones,G. Stenhagen,G. Stenhagen,G. Stenhagen,John H. Loughrin,John H. Loughrin,John H. Loughrin,James H. Tumlinson,James H. Tumlinson,James H. Tumlinson +15 more
TL;DR: The compound N -(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-l-glutamine (named here volicitin) was isolated from oral secretions of beet armyworm caterpillars and induced the seedlings to emit volatile compounds that attract parasitic wasps and natural enemies of the herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne signals prime plants against insect herbivore attack
TL;DR: Green leafy volatiles (GLV), six-carbon aldehydes, alcohols, and esters commonly emitted by plants in response to mechanical damage or herbivory, induced intact undamaged corn seedlings to rapidly produce jasmonic acid (JA) and emit sesquiterpenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A blend of small molecules regulates both mating and development in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: The mating signal in C. elegans consists of a synergistic blend of three dauer-inducing ascarosides, which are demonstrated to be strongly synergistic, and to connect reproductive and developmental pathways and represents a unique example of structure- and concentration-dependent differential activity of signalling molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragments of ATP synthase mediate plant perception of insect attack.

TL;DR: Direct perception of herbivory is reported in cowpea plants attacked by fall armyworm larvae and inceptin functions as a potent indirect signal initiating specific plant responses to insect attack.
