Can plant–natural enemy communication withstand disruption by biotic and abiotic factors?

چکیده
The attraction of natural enemies towards herbivore-induced plant volatiles is a well-documented phenomenon. However, the majority of published studies are carried under optimal water and nutrient regimes and with just one herbivore. But what happens when additional levels of ecological complexity are added? Does the presence of a second herbivore, microorganisms, and abiotic stress interfere with plant-natural enemy communication? or is communication stable enough to withstand disruption by additional biotic and abiotic factors?Investigating the effects of these additional levels of ecological complexity is key to understanding the stability of tritrophic interactions in natural ecosystems and may aid to forecast the impact of environmental disturbances on these, especially in climate change scenarios, which are often associated with modifications in plant and arthropod species distribution and increased levels of abiotic stress.This review explores the literature on natural enemy attraction to herbivore-induced volatiles when, besides herbivory, plants are challenged by additional biotic and abiotic factors.The aim of this review was to establish the impact of different biotic and abiotic factors on plant-natural enemy communication and to highlight critical aspects to guide future research efforts.

Investigation some of the Biotic and Abiotic Variables Effective on the Diameter Increment of the Beech Trees at Fixed Sample Plots level by Growth Models
Quantifying forest growth and determination of its affective factors are fundamental for forest management. This study examines the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the diameter increment of oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) in a high-elevation forest in northern Iran using permanent sample plots. The aim of this study was identification and quantifying environmental factors such...
متن کاملThe interface between abiotic and biotic stress responses.
Organisms are under strong selection to respond adaptively to environmental stress, even when different stresses occur simultaneously or in rapid succession, as they often do in natural environments. However, at a molecular level, stress responses are often studied in isolation and under controlled growth conditions. This leaves us with an ever-finer picture of single stress responses but littl...
متن کاملBiotic and Abiotic Interactions in Ecosystems
Biotic and Abiotic Interactions in Ecosystems Plants live in complex environments where many biotic and abiotic factors limit or promote productivity and carbon biosequestration. Temperature and water extremes, nutrient and other resource availabilities, microbeinduced diseases, and insect attacks can limit plant productivity. At the same time, this productivity intimately depends on plant inte...

Based on recent statistical survey, the cancer is the third important factor in Iran mortality. Vinblastine and vincristine alkaloids are dominantly biosynthesized in the aerial parts of periwinkle, broadly applied for cancer treatment. Therefore, over production of these alkaloids by using the biotechnological approaches is inevitable. Since the terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAS) biosynthesis p...
