Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Herbivore-induced indole enhanced defensive volatile induction in neighbouring maize plants in a species-specific manner.
- Mechanism Indole release was essential for priming mono- and homoterpenes in systemic leaves of attacked maize.
- Intervention effect Indole exposure markedly increased herbivore-induced jasmonate-isoleucine conjugate production.
- Intervention effect Indole exposure markedly increased herbivore-induced abscisic acid production.
