Abstract in brief

The meta-analysis of 48 studies supports the idea that plants can communicate through volatile compounds to enhance their defenses against herbivores, especially in well-controlled experiments.
The findings show that laboratory and agricultural crop studies exhibit stronger induced resistance compared to field studies on wild species, possibly because experimental conditions reduce other sources of variation.
Overall, the research confirms that plants from different species and environments tend to become more resistant when exposed to volatiles from damaged neighbors, despite earlier controversy and variability in non-replicated studies.]

Plant Volatile Communication Enhances Defense Against Herbivores

This meta-analysis of 48 studies confirms that plants can communicate through volatile compounds to strengthen their defenses against herbivores, with stronger evidence in controlled experiments and crop studies.
