Far-red light increases maize volatile emissions in response to volatile cues from neighboring plants

R. Escobar-Bravo, B. C. Schimmel, Y. Zhang, L. Wang, C. A. Robert, G. Glauser, C. L. Ballare, M. Erb

This study shows that far-red light enhances maize's response to herbivore-induced volatiles by altering photosynthesis and phytochrome B signaling.

Soil chemistry determines whether defensive plant secondary metabolites promote or suppress herbivore growth

L. Hu, Z. Wu, C. A. Robert, O. Xiao, T. Zuest, A. Mestrot, J. Xu, M. Erb

The paper shows that soil iron levels determine whether maize benzoxazinoids promote or suppress fall armyworm growth.

A beta-glucosidase of an insect herbivore determines both toxicity and deterrence of a dandelion defense metabolite

M. Huber, T. Roder, S. Irmisch, A. Riedel, S. Gablenz, J. Fricke, P. Rahfeld, M. Reichelt, C. Paetz, N. Liechti, L. Hu, Y. Meng, W. Huang, C. A. Robert, J. Gershenzon, M. Erb

The paper shows that an insect beta-glucosidase metabolizes a dandelion defense compound, reducing its toxicity and altering herbivore feeding preference.

NATURAL ENEMIES OF HERBIVORES MAINTAIN THEIR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL POTENTIAL UNDER FUTURE CO2, TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION PATTERNS

C. van Doan, M. Pfander, A. S. Guyer, X. Zhang, C. Maurer, C. A. Robert

This study examines how future climate conditions affect the survival and predation success of natural enemies of herbivores, finding minimal negative impacts and even increased predation in some species.

Tissue-specific volatile-mediated defense regulation in maize leaves and roots

C. van Doan, T. Zuest, C. Maurer, X. Zhang, R. A. R. Machado, P. Mateo, M. Ye, B. C. J. Schimmel, G. Glauser, C. A. Robert

This study investigates whether maize roots respond to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) like leaves, finding no significant changes in root traits or herbivore resistance.

Entomopathogenic nematodes increase predation success by inducing specific cadaver volatiles that attract healthy herbivores

X. Zhang, R. A. Machado, C. Van Doan, C. C. Arce, L. Hu, C. A. ROBERT

This study shows entomopathogenic nematodes attract healthy herbivores to infected cadavers via specific volatiles, enhancing their ability to control pest populations.
