The paper develops a mathematical model to quantify biological response dynamics, revealing novel patterns in plant volatile signalling and demonstrating its applicability across species.

This study shows that maize plants suppress CLE1E9 signaling to enhance volatile release in response to herbivore-induced HAC, shaping multitrophic interactions.

The paper shows that larger leaves in maize emit more volatiles when damaged, and herbivores prefer larger leaves, increasing volatile emissions without growth benefits.
