Plant Responses to Herbivore Volatiles by Pedro Cocom is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This review article discusses how plants use airborne signals like volatile organic compounds to communicate with other plants. Some of these signals help plants prepare their defenses against herbivores, while others can inhibit the growth of neighboring plants. Recent research has helped uncover the molecular mechanisms that allow plants to receive these signals and respond by activating defenses. The ecological effects of this communication include increased fitness for both signal-emitting and signal-re
