🌽#Maize #plants produce #terpene compounds when attacked by Asian corn borer larvae, but when #genes involved in #biosynthesis of these plant volatiles are knocked out, plants are made less attractive to herbivory.🔓⬇️

Strigolactone #phytohormones modulate a wide range of processes in #plants-from shoot branching to #symbiosis of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Could they also play a role in plant defense against #pathogens?
