The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hormonal modulation of plant immunity. (2012, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. communication within the host immune signaling network to enhance their success on host plants (Hogenhout & Bos 2011, Walling 2008).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and aphids interact by changing host plant quality and volatile emission (2014, unknown): “Indeed, it is possible that aphids, as stealthy herbivores, have adapted to evade detection by the plant, which would otherwise trigger VOC release and attract predators (Walling 2008).”
Deciphering Chemical Language of Plant Communication (2016, background): “This manipulation of plant defences has been shown for arthropods belonging to different taxonomic groups with different feeding habits such as phloem feeders (Zarate et al. 2007; Walling 2008; Bos et al. 2010), caterpillars (Musser et al.”
Whitefly infestation of pepper plants elicits defence responses against bacterial pathogens in leaves and roots and changes the below‐ground microflora (2011, background): “Several recent studies demonstrated enhanced resistance to pathogens following feeding by insects such as whiteflies with a sucking mode of feeding because phloem-feeding insects like whiteflies and aphids can induce biochemical responses similar to those induced by pathogens (Walling 2008).”
