Role of glucosinolates in insect-plant relationships and multitrophic interactions.
- R. Hopkins, N. M. van Dam, J. V. van Loon
- Biology, Medicine
- Annual review of entomology
- 2009
Glucosinolates present classical examples of plant compounds affecting insect-plant interactions. They are found mainly in the family Brassicaceae, which includes several important crops. More than… Expand
Plant interactions with multiple insect herbivores: from community to genes.
- J. M. Stam, A. Kroes, +4 authors M. Dicke
- Biology, Medicine
- Annual review of plant biology
- 29 April 2014
Every plant is a member of a complex insect community that consists of tens to hundreds of species that belong to different trophic levels. The dynamics of this community are critically influenced by… Expand
Chemical complexity of volatiles from plants induced by multiple attack.
- M. Dicke, J. V. van Loon, R. Soler
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature chemical biology
- 1 May 2009
The attack of a plant by herbivorous arthropods can result in considerable changes in the plant's chemical phenotype. The emission of so-called herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV) results in the… Expand
Feed Conversion, Survival and Development, and Composition of Four Insect Species on Diets Composed of Food By-Products
- D. Oonincx, S. van Broekhoven, A. van Huis, J. V. van Loon
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 23 December 2015
A large part of the environmental impact of animal production systems is due to the production of feed. Insects are suggested to efficiently convert feed to body mass and might therefore form a more… Expand
Whiteflies interfere with indirect plant defense against spider mites in Lima bean
- Peng-Jun Zhang, Si-Jun Zheng, +4 authors M. Dicke
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 15 December 2009
Plants under herbivore attack are able to initiate indirect defense by synthesizing and releasing complex blends of volatiles that attract natural enemies of the herbivore. However, little is known… Expand
Antennal sensilla of two parasitoid wasps: A comparative scanning electron microscopy study
- M. A. Bleeker, H. M. Smid, A. V. van Aelst, J. V. van Loon, L. Vet
- Biology, Medicine
- Microscopy research and technique
- 1 April 2004
Two closely related parasitoid wasp species, Cotesia glomerata (L.) and Cotesia rubecula (Marshall) (Hymenoptera:Braconidae), are different in their associative learning of plant odors. To provide a… Expand
Helping plants to deal with insects: the role of beneficial soil-borne microbes.
- A. Pineda, Si-Jun Zheng, J. V. van Loon, C. Pieterse, M. Dicke
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in plant science
- 1 September 2010
Several soil-borne microbes such as mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can help plants to deal with biotic and abiotic stresses via plant growth promotion and induced… Expand
Growth performance and feed conversion efficiency of three edible mealworm species (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on diets composed of organic by-products.
- S. van Broekhoven, D. Oonincx, A. van Huis, J. V. van Loon
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of insect physiology
- 1 February 2015
Insects receive increasing attention as an alternative protein-rich food source for humans. Producing edible insects on diets composed of organic by-products could increase sustainability. In… Expand
An Exploration on Greenhouse Gas and Ammonia Production by Insect Species Suitable for Animal or Human Consumption
- D. Oonincx, Joost van Itterbeeck, M. J. Heetkamp, H. van den Brand, J. V. van Loon, A. van Huis
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 29 December 2010
Background Greenhouse gas (GHG) production, as a cause of climate change, is considered as one of the biggest problems society is currently facing. The livestock sector is one of the large… Expand
Attraction of Colorado Potato Beetle to Herbivore-Damaged Plants During Herbivory and After Its Termination
- C. Bolter, M. Dicke, J. V. van Loon, J. Visser, M. A. Posthumus
- Biology
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 1 April 1997
Large, undamaged potato plants (>60 cm, 5–6 weeks old) attract the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), but small potato plants (15–25 cm high, 2–3 weeks old) do not. However, small… Expand
