Terpenoid biosynthesis and signaling in legume plants in response to herbivorous damage

  • Conference paper
Advances in Plant Ethylene Research

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) contribute to attracting the natural enemies of the herbivores and, hence, benefit the plant indirectly. Volatile terpenoids are the major products among the HIPVs from legumes, e.g., lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and Medicago truncatula (Leitner et al., 2005).
