植物受到虫害后释放萜类化合物吸引害虫天敌的间接防御是一种新颖且环保的抗虫模式。植物受到害虫危害等因素诱导后做出响应,在体内经过一系列复杂调控,释放萜类物质,害虫天敌顺着这些萜类物质找到害虫,通过捕食或寄生于害虫体内的方法来消灭害虫。在实际应用中,可考虑利用直接和间接防御相结合的防治方法。
Plants indirect defense releasing volatile terpenoids which attract herbivore enemies after attacking is a novel and environmentally-friendly insect-resistant pattern. Induced by insect damage and other factors, plants regulate themselves to release a blend of volatiles, including terpenoids, with which the herbivore enemies could locate their preys and hosts. Cooperated this indirect defense with direct defense would play a role in pest control.
