This study evaluates odor-based pest detection in maize using sensors and mass spectrometry, showing promising results with mass spectrometry under field conditions.

This study evaluates milpa polycultures, finding they increase productivity through crop complementarity and carry-over effects, with benefits extending into the next growing season.

This study investigates how Photorhabdus metabolites affect soil microbial communities and plant growth, finding increased biomass and herbivore resistance.

The paper shows that a plant immune receptor detects caterpillar oral secretions and triggers volatile emissions that attract predatory wasps, linking plant immunity to tritrophic interactions.

The paper shows that exposure to herbivore-induced plant volatiles increases jasmonate levels and primes chemical defenses in cotton plants, leading to enhanced toxin production and volatile emissions upon herbivory.

This study examines how leaf damage amount and dispersion affect extrafloral nectar production and ant-mediated protection in wild cotton, finding that dispersed damage increases nectary number and ant recruitment.

This study examines how different levels and distributions of herbivory affect defensive responses in wild cotton, finding that dispersed damage increases extrafloral nectar production while concentrated damage reduces regrowth.

This study examines how herbivory by caterpillars affects volatile terpene profiles in wild cotton plants, revealing chemotypic and geographic variation in volatile production and emission.

The paper tests if caterpillar oral secretions trigger plant volatiles that attract predatory wasps, finding that secretions enhance volatile emissions and increase predation.
