Induced resistance (IR), which enables plants to increase their resilience against insect pests and microbial pathogens by promoting own immunity, has been recognized for its value in crop protection schemes. Despite promising applications, the use of IR remained marginal compared with pesticides single genes. This review aims shed light on this disparity examining scientific milestones achieved over past decades both internal (immunological) external (ecological) strategies. The multifaceted advantages IR, particularly ability provide broad-spectrum enhance nutritional nutraceutical certain crops, are also discussed. various obstacles hindering widespread adoption strategies then revealed. After considering recent discoveries insights, potential solutions proposed, including leveraging epigenetic approaches understand mechanisms involved IR. By acknowledging that future sustainability is irreconcilable single-use technologies, proposes taking advantage latest insights regarding adaptive nature plant immune system ecological interactions safely integrate into existing emphasizing need comprehensive holistic basic translational research, sets stage alongside other foster a resilient, environmentally friendly, economically viable future, thereby ensuring health crops.

The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, is a pest threatening global production. This pest’s adaptability and resistance to chemical insecticides have necessitated integrated management (IPM) strategies prioritizing sustainable alternatives. review explores the role of biological control agents (BCAs) in managing T. absoluta populations, emphasizing integration floral resources enhance their efficacy. Predatory mirids such as Macrolophus pygmaeus Nesidiocoris tenuis parasitoids N. artynes Trichogramma spp. are pivotal suppression; however, performance depends on nutritional habitat support. Floral provide essential sugars proteins, improving longevity, fecundity, predation efficiency these BCAs. synthesizes case studies highlighting benefits selected flowering plants, Lobularia maritima Fagopyrum esculentum, supporting predator parasitoid populations while minimizing advantages absoluta. Mechanisms nectar quality, accessibility, spatial–temporal resource availability explored detail.

The Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) constitutes a significant threat to rose greenhouses in Colombia. An eco-friendly approach managing this pest involves using the predatory bug Orius insidiosus. and its predator’s food search selection mechanisms are influenced by ecological interactions mediated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during plant–pest interactions. To investigate role of VOCs foraging host-selection behaviors O. insidiosus, we conducted functional response assays olfactometry experiments laboratory settings. These used flowers from two cultivars, with without female adult thrips, over 24, 48, 72 h. Functional analysis revealed shift insidiosus behavior based on duration thrips interaction flowers, transitioning Type II III between 24 48 h ‘Freedom’ cultivar. maximum consumption rates increased significantly, 7.98 individuals at 16.18 h, before slightly decreasing 14.37 This coincided an increase preference for thrips-infested time, proportions rising 0.37 0.46 suggesting learning effect prey-searching VOCs. Olfactometry analyses that did not respond same attracted F. occidentalis flower infestation. However, responded certain likely associated floral resources such as nectar pollen, which also attract pollinators zoophytophagous predators. observation suggests potential overlap chemical cues distinct purposes. findings highlight complex ecology underlying predator–prey agroecosystems underscore importance considering shaping natural enemies their insect pests.

Although Nesidiocoris tenuis is highly effective as a biological control agent, it can also damage tomato plants due to its zoophytophagous behavior. When N. pierces the stems and petioles of with stylets, triggers callose deposition subsequent cell death, resulting in blocked nutrient transport, floral abortions, or wilting tender shoots. Recently, has been shown that exposure green leaf volatile (Z)-3-hexenyl propanoate [(Z)-3-HP] activates defensive mechanisms, including regulation genes involved synthesis degradation callose. In this study, conducted under greenhouse conditions, we tested hypothesis caused by could be reduced exposing (Z)-3-HP through polymeric dispensers. Tomato exposed non-exposed were inoculated tenuis. established both groups no significant differences between two treatments. However, hypothesized, was significantly lower (Z)-3-HP. Gene expression analysis salicylic, jasmonic, abscisic acids, along histochemical staining methods, used compare responses infested solely versus those Our findings confirm influence on differential activation treatments (Z)-3-HP-exposed plants. These results pave way for improved management enhancing plant's defenses based inter-plant communication.
