Language of plants: Where is the word?

摘要: Plants emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) causing transcriptomic, metabolomic and behavioral responses in receiver organisms. Volatiles involved such are often called plant language. Arthropods having sensitive chemoreceptors can recognize language released by plants. Insect herbivores, pollinators natural enemies respond to composition of volatiles from plants with specialized receptors responding different types compounds. In contrast, the mechanism how hear has remained obscured. a plant-plant communication, several individually emitted known prime defense response specific manner according chemical structure each compound. Further, ratio plant-released plume is important plant-insect interactions mediated volatiles. Studies on volatile-mediated signaling indicate that distances rather short, usually not longer than one meter. Volatile communication insects as could be across hundreds meters. As many herbivore induced VOCs have short atmospheric life times, we suggest long-distant communications volatiles, reaction products original may additional information value distance emission source together plant-emitted
