“…Which VOCs, then, were responsible for the responses that we observed? Green-leaf volatiles have repeatedly been reported to be active in airborne induction of herbivore resistance (Engelberth et al, 2004;Farag et al, 2005;Ruther and Kleier, 2005;Mirabella et al, 2008), and they can also enhance a plant's direct resistance to certain pathogens, particularly necrotrophic fungi (Kishimoto et al, 2005;Matsui, 2006;Shiojiri et al, 2006). Certain volatiles even might be involved in the resistance of plants to abiotic stress (Behnke et al, 2007), and BTH treatment has been reported to enhance the attractiveness of herbivore-damaged corn seedlings to parasitic wasps (Rostás and Turlings, 2008).…”
