Chemical Signatures in Plant–Insect Interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Chemical signals are important cues throughout the life of an insect especially for mate location and for prey and host finding. The chemical signal, whether pheromone or plant volatile organic compound (VOC), remains specific because of the mixture, of the ratio of the components in mixture and of the release quantity.

Calcium Signaling in Plant-Insect Interactions
Plants, 2022 In plant–insect interactions, calcium (Ca2+) variations are among the earliest events associated with the plant perception of biotic stress. Upon herbivory, Ca2+ waves travel long distances to transmit and convert the local signal to a systemic defense program.

The Chemistry of Plant-Insect Egg Interactions [PDF]
CHIMIA, 2022 Insect eggs deposited on plants constitute a threat that has led to the evolution of sophisticated defenses. The interactions between insect eggs and plants are governed by a diverse variety of chemicals that inform butterflies about suitable hosts, repel gravid females, alert plants about the presence of an egg, act as signal molecules to induce ...

Historical records of plant-insect interactions in subarctic Finland
BMC Research Notes, 2022 Objectives Historical ecological records document the diversity and composition of communities decades or centuries ago. They can provide a valuable benchmark for comparisons with modern communities. Historical datasets on plant-animal interactions allow

Insect Feeding Assays with Spodoptera exigua on Arabidopsis thaliana
Bio-Protocol, 2020 Plant-insect interaction is an important field for studying plant immunity. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the best-known agricultural pest insects and is usually used to study plant interactions with chewing insects. Here, we describe a

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]
, 2008 Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

Impact of parasitoid-associated polydnaviruses on plant-mediated herbivore interactions [PDF]
, 2022 Insect herbivores interact via plant-mediated interactions in which one herbivore species induces changes in plant quality that affects the performance of a second phytophagous insect that shares the food plant.
