The function of terpene natural products in the natural world. (2007, background): “Released during predator attack, this acyclic hydrocarbon causes aphids to stop feeding, disperse, and give birth to winged (rather than wingless) forms, which leave their host plant”
Chemical cues mediating aphid location by natural enemies (2008, background): “It is commonly released in the cornicle secretions of many aphid species (Francis et al., 2005a) to alert surrounding aphids of the presence of natural enemies (Grasswitz & Paine, 1992; Francis et al., 2004, 2005b; Kunert et al., 2005).”
Sites of synthesis, biochemistry and functional role of plant volatiles (2010, background): “(Pare and Tumlinson, 1997a; Kunert et al., 2005; Webster et al., 2008; Verheggen et al., 2008; Imbiscuso et al., 2009) Produced in response to feeding Spodoptera littoralis on the fern Pteris vittata.”
Practical approaches to plant volatile analysis. (2006, methodology): “We have employed this system to collect volatiles from aphid-infested plants over several days (Kunert et al., 2005) and trap VOCs from flowering Arabidopsis plants over 8 h (Chen et al., 2003).”
