Insect herbivory activates plant defense mechanisms and releases a blend of herbivore-induced volatiles (HIPVs). These volatile compounds may be involved in plant-plant communication induce response undamaged plants. In this work, we investigated whether the exposure sweet pepper plants to HIPVs [ (Z) -3-hexenol, -3-hexenyl acetate, propanoate, butanoate, hexyl methyl salicylate jasmonate] immu...

Abstract Understanding the ecological and toxicological relationship between genetically modified cultivars (GM) biological control agents is of great importance for discussions related to compatability GM integrated management strategies pest resistance. The present study evaluated search behavior predatory capacity Orius insidiosus (Say) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) Doru luteipes (Scudder) (Derm...
