Switching on plant genes by external chemical signals

摘要: During the past decade there has been rapidly increasing interest in role of plant volatiles insect–plant interactions and induction defence systems by both pathogens herbivores. Scientists are striving to link proximate studies elucidating pathways genes with ultimate adaptive that attempt explain their ecological role. However, we still do not know whether plants ‘talk’ one another employing ‘phytopheromones’.
