When plants face stress, they activate a signaling cascade involving multiple molecules like hydrogen peroxide and plant hormones such as salicylic acid, leading to resistance or stress adaptation. It ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are essential airborne signals or odors that enable plants to communicate with other organisms and plants across short and long distances. A key aspect of this ...

Plants communicate through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that help them respond to herbivorous pest attacks. This review explored the mechanisms behind these plant communications and their ...

Esther Ngumbi, left, and Erinn Dady studied the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, caterpillars, and the variety of tomato plants on plant chemistry. Plants produce a range of chemicals known as ...

Pamela Medina van Berkum collects volatile organic compounds from communities and individual plants in the field at the Jena Experiment field site (https://the-jena-experiment.de/). In her experiments ...

What is chemical communication in plants? Plants rely on chemical signals to communicate with each other and themselves. Some of these chemicals are volatile (known as volatile organic compounds--VOCs ...

Plants produce a range of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds that influence their interactions with the world around them. In a new study, researchers at the University of Illinois ...
