THE ROLE OF PLANT VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN HERBIVORE DEFENCE

Author(s) Sakshi Hooda

Abstract Plants are subjected to various biotic stresses, with herbivores being a major challenge. To counteract herbivory, plants have developed an array of defence strategies ranging from physical barriers to complex biochemical responses. Among these strategies, the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) serves as a dynamic signalling mechanism. VOCs not only mediate direct plant defences but also facilitate indirect defences by attracting herbivore enemies and informing neighbouring plants of potential threats (Dudareva et al., 2013).
