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

Terry J. Torres-Cruz, Tristan Michael Cofer, Laura M. Kaminsky…·David M. Geiser

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

Exposure to (Z)-3-hexenol primes tobacco plants for faster and stronger defense without negatively affecting their ability to grow and reproduce

Bipana Paudel Timilsena, Irmgard Seidl‐Adams, Sarah Refi Hind…·James H. Tumlinson

This study shows that exposure to (Z)-3-hexenol primes tobacco plants for stronger defense against herbivores without reducing their growth or reproductive success.

Stomata: Gatekeepers of Uptake and Defense Priming by Green Leaf Volatiles in plants

Feizollah A. Maleki, Irmgard Seidl‐Adams, Gary W. Felton…·James H. Tumlinson

This study shows that stomatal closure reduces green leaf volatile (GLV) uptake in maize, impairing GLV-induced sesquiterpene biosynthesis and altering plant responses to herbivory under stress.
