Delighted that our e-book, Interplay of Plant Volatiles in Enhancing Immunity and Sustainable Pest Management, which I co-edited, is now available in #FrontiersinPlantScience & #FrontiersinPhysiology. www.frontiersin.org/research-top... #ChemicalEcology #PlantDefence #SustainablePestManagement

Delighted to share our new editorial in @FrontPlantSci 🌱 As Guest Editor, I helped shape this collection exploring the multifunctional roles of plant VOCs in plant defense, sustainable pest management, advancing plant–insect ecology and agroecology. 🔗 www.frontiersin.org/journals/pla...

How to speak potato: Like most plants, potatoes release volatile chemicals for communication and defense. A study identifies specific compounds released by potatoes that repel and attract the potato tuber moth pest. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/fjCG50YFHVp

🚨 New Publication in @neobiota.pensoft.net! We show that invasive plants can significantly alter water chemistry and microeukaryote assemblages, ultimately boosting mosquito development. Read the full study here: neobiota.pensoft.net/article/1671...
