Description
A monoterpene; a volatile compound involved in plant-plant signaling and plant defense against pests; emission from L. japonicus plants is induced within 24 hours of spider mite (T. urticae) infestation; conditioning of tomato plants using VOCs from transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing trans-β-ocimene synthase increases production of VOCs, reduces the number of aphids (M. euphorbiae) that settle on the plant and the number of nymphs produced by the aphids that settle, as well as increases the number of landings of the aphid parasitoid A. ervi
