The Role of (E)-β-Farnesene in Tritrophic Interactions: Biosynthesis, Chemoreception, and Evolution
8 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
)-β-farnesene (EBF) stands out as a crucial volatile organic compound, exerting significant influence on the complex interactions between plants, aphids, and predator insects. Serving as an alarm signal within aphids, EBF is also emitted by plants as a defense mechanism to attract aphid predators. This review delves into EBF sources, functions, biosynthesis, detection mechanisms, and its coevolutionary impacts on...
