This project investigates how tobacco hornworms influence plant volatile emissions that attract their natural predators. It focuses on the enzyme responsible for converting certain plant compounds, aiming to understand its role in the caterpillar's biology and ecological interactions.
Plants continuously emit organic volatiles into the air, but upon herbivory the amounts increase dramatically.
Emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles, i.e. especially of terpenoids, aromatic compounds and C-6 based ‘green leaf volatiles’ (GLVs), leads to the attraction of foraging natural enemies of herbivores and therefore is referred to as indirect plant defence.
We recently found that the increased emission of (E)-isomers of GLVs, induced in wild tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) by tobacc…
