Sequestration of Exogenous Volatiles by Plant Cuticular Waxes as a Mechanism of Passive Associational Resistance: A Proof of Concept
Numerous plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induce the expression of resistance-related genes and thereby cause an “associational resistance” in neighbouring plants. However, VOCs can also be sequestered by plant cuticular waxes. In case that they maintain their biological activity, suc...
