Impact of Transgenic VIP3A × Cry1Ab Lepidopteran-resistant Field Corn on the Nontarget Arthropod Community (2005, background): “Herbivoreinduced reactions in plants also are known to produce volatiles that attract natural enemies of the herbivores causing the damage (Turlings et al. 1998, Vet and Dicke 1992, Drukker et al. 2000, Turlings et al. 2000, Ockroy 2001, James 2003).”
Variation in natural plant products and the attraction of bodyguards involved in indirect plant defense (2010, background): “Elicitors that are applied onto wounded plant tissue can mimic herbivore feeding or egg deposition so that carnivores are attracted (Mattiacci et al. 1995; Turlings et al. 2000; Kessler and Baldwin 2002; van Poecke and Dicke 2003; Hilker et al. 2005; Wu et al. 2008).”
Chemical Ecology of Egg Parasitoids Associated with True Bugs (2012, background): “hesperus salivary gland extracts is similar to that induced by volicitin, an elicitor isolated from the regurgitant of moth larvae [68], although chemical analyses of the salivary glands from Lygus spp.”
Recruitment of predators and parasitoids by herbivore-injured plants (2004, background): “The presence of such suppressing agents would explain the fact that the isolated active fraction containing volicitin showed more activity than pure caterpillar regurgitant (Turlings et al., 2000).”
