Herbivore-induced plant volatiles provide associational resistance against an ovipositing herbivore

Abstract

5. Synthesis. Our results suggest that the presence of HIPV-emitting plant neighbours can reduce herbivory on undamaged plants and enhance plant resistance by affecting oviposition behaviour in insect herbivores.
