Plant seeds are primed by herbivore-induced plant volatiles
Abhinav K. Maurya, Leila Pazouki, Christopher J. Frost
The paper investigates how seed exposure to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) affects growth, reproduction, and defense in Arabidopsis thaliana and Medicago truncatula, finding that specific HIPVs like indole reduce herbivore performance without affecting defense gene induction.
