Insects visit Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers on the host Xyris surinamensis (Xyridaceae) and carry fungal DNA on their bodies

T. J. T. Cruz, T. M. Cofer, L. M. Kaminsky, L. A. Re, A. Vaughn, J. R. Johnson, J. H. Tumlinson, I. Laraba, R. H. Proctor, H.-S. Kim, T. H. Bell, M. C. Aime, M. J. Skvarla, D. M. Geiser

The paper investigates whether Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers attract insects for dispersal by analyzing insect visitation, fungal DNA on insects, and volatile compounds.

High-resolution kinetics of herbivore-induced plant volatile transfer reveal clocked responses in neighboring plants

J. M. Waterman, T. M. Cofer, L. Wang, G. Glauser, M. Erb

This study shows that prolonged exposure to herbivore-induced volatiles causes neighboring plants to exhibit a clocked temporal response, integrating priming and direct induction.

The Arabidopsis thaliana carboxylesterase AtCXE12 converts volatile (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate to (Z)-3-hexenol

T. M. Cofer, M. Erb, J. H. Tumlinson

This study identifies AtCXE12 as a key enzyme converting (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate to (Z)-3-hexenol in Arabidopsis leaves and shows similar activity in other plant species.

Immature leaves are the dominant volatile sensing organs of maize

L. Wang, S. Jaeggi, M. Walthert, J. M. Waterman, T. M. Cofer, M. Erb

The paper identifies immature maize leaves as the primary organs for sensing herbivory-induced volatiles, showing reduced responsiveness in older leaves.
