Eco‐evolutionary factors contribute to chemodiversity in aboveground and belowground cucurbit herbivore‐induced plant volatiles

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles differ between aboveground leaves and belowground roots both within and among plant species in the Cucurbitaceae, and these differences are correlated with plant domestication and herbivore coexistence history, but not phylogenetic relatedness. Abstract When attacked by insect herbivores, plants emit blends of chemical
