Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Push-Pull Strategies in Integrated Pest Management
TL;DR: The principles of the strategy are described, the potential components are listed, and case studies reviewing work on the development and use of push-pull strategies in each of the major areas of pest control are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stressful 'memories' of plants: evidence and possible mechanisms
TL;DR: The term “stress imprint” is used in this review to describe this plant-based phenomenon because sustained alterations in levels of key signalling metabolites or transcription factors could provide an explanation for how plant metabolism is altered by exposure to various stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception of plant volatile blends by herbivorous insects – Finding the right mix
Toby J. A. Bruce,John A. Pickett +1 more
TL;DR: Perception of blends of plant volatiles plays a pivotal role in host recognition, non-host avoidance and ensuing behavioural responses as different responses can occur to a whole blend compared to individual components.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Chemical Ecology of Aphids
TL;DR: Study of aphid chemical ecology involving volatile semiochemicals, particularly pheromones, has been greatly enhanced by the development of electrophysiological rccordings from aphid antennae, using the electroan tennograph (EAG) and single-cell recording (SCR) methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Semiochemicals Released During Aphid Feeding That Attract Parasitoid Aphidius ervi
TL;DR: Volatiles obtained by air entrainment of aphid infested plants were more attractive to A. ervi than those from uninfested plants, in both behavioral bioassays and activity of pure compounds, which significantly increased parasitoid responses to these compounds.
