Journal ArticleDOI
Sex pheromones and their impact on pest management.
TL;DR: The time is right to intensify goal-oriented interdisciplinary research on semiochemicals, involving chemists, entomologists, and plant protection experts, in order to provide the urgently needed, and cost-effective technical solutions for sustainable insect management worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indirect defence via tritrophic interactions.
TL;DR: Indirect defences are increasingly being discussed as an environmentally-friendly crop protection strategy, but much more knowledge on their fitness effects under certain environmental conditions is required before the authors can understand their ecological and evolutionary relevance, and before tritrophic interactions can serve as a reliable tool in agronomy.

Long-distance signalling in plant defence

TL;DR: This work compares the advantages and constraints of vascular and airborne signals for the plant, and discusses how they can act in synergy to achieve optimised resistance in distal plant parts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-microbe-soil interactions in the rhizosphere: an evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: It is shown that rhizosphere processes in the long run are central to biogeochemical cycles, soil formation and Earth history, and major anticipated discoveries will enhance basic understanding and allow applications of new knowledge to deal with nutrient deficiencies, pests and diseases.

The products of a single maize sesquiterpene synthase form a volatile defense signal that attracts natural enemies of maize herbivores
Christiane Schnee,Tobias G. Köllner,Matthias Held,Ted C. J. Turlings,Jonathan Gershenzon,Jörg Degenhardt +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single gene such as tps10 can be sufficient to mediate the indirect defense of maize against herbivore attack and that females of the parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris learn to exploit the TPS10 sesquiterpenes to locate their lepidopteran hosts after prior exposure to these volatiles in association with hosts.
