Abstract:

In order to understand how the herbivores-induced plant volatiles attract natural enemies for pest defense, the recent research status, influencing factors and progress of research on herbivores-induced plant volatiles around the world were reviewed. The release and action effect of plant volatiles are influenced by multiple factors, and their action pathways are closely related to the chemoreceptor genes of insects. In recent years, studies on the action mechanisms of plant volatiles attracting natural enemies have been carried out extensively at home and abroad, and most of them focus on the identification of volatile compounds, behavioral selection experiments and the identification and functional analysis of chemoreceptor genes associated with natural enemies. By analyzing and summarizing the studies, the future development directions on the biological control of pests by natural enemies lured by plant volatiles and related genes were discussed, aiming to provide theoretical support for future development of green plant protection and sustainable agriculture.

Key words: herbivores-induced plant volatiles, natural enemies, chemoreceptor genes, biological control, research status
