“…Although HIPVs are also known to mediate a diverse array of interactions between plants and insects (Turlings et al, 1990;De Moraes et al, 1998;Hoballah and Turlings, 2001;De Moraes et al, 2001), the role of volatiles in signaling between plants has been one of the most fascinating and controversial topics in modern ecology (Baldwin and Schultz, 1983;Fowler and Lawton, 1985;Farmer and Ryan, 1990;Shonle and Bergelson, 1995;Karban and Baldwin, 1997;Agrawal, 2000;Bruin and Dicke, 2001;Baldwin et al, 2002Baldwin et al, , 2006Karban et al, 2003;Dudareva et al, 2006). One recurring point of controversy has been the distance over which HIPV signals can be received by plants (Baldwin et al, 2002;Karban et al, 2003;Kessler et al, 2006). Recent work has shown that vascular constraints on systemic induction can be overcome with HIPVs (Karban et al, 2006;Heil and Silva Bueno, 2007;Frost et al, 2007), as hypothesized by both Farmer (2001) and Orians (2005).…”
