Plants emit an incredible diversity of volatiles that mediate interactions with insects, although similar volatiles often differentially regulate behaviors of herbivores, pollinators, and natural enemies. Our symposium will delve into the curious conundrum plants face of attracting beneficials while deterring harmful insects, and how to apply this knowledge to agroecosystems.
