The composite effect of transgenic plant volatiles for acquired immunity to herbivory caused by inter-plant communications.

A blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from plants induced by herbivory enables the priming of defensive responses in neighboring plants. These effects may provide insights useful for pest control achieved with transgenic-plant-emitted volatiles. We therefore investigated, under both l...
