Abstract

Plants respond to attacks by herbivorous insects by releasing specific blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These herbivore-induced VOCs are known to play a major role in the interaction between plants and insects and may directly protect the plant by being toxic or deterrent, but may also benefit the plant indirectly by attracting natural enemies of the herbivores.
