Abstract Plant-herbivore interactions have been extensively studied in tomato plants and their most common pests. Tomato plant chemical defenses, both constitutive inducible, play a role mediating these interactions. Damaged alter volatile profiles, affecting herbivore preferences between undamaged damaged plants. However, previous studies on volatiles yielded conflicting results, the chemistry itself as well attraction/repellent response. This study revisits volatile-mediated two of main herbivores: leafminer Tuta absoluta whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum . were analyzed before after damage by each herbivores, preference for oviposition ( T. ) settling was assessed conspecific heterospecific damage. We found that insects consistently preferred over The emission herbivore-induced (HIPVs) increased but decreased While some our findings are line with reports, to oviposit conspecifics, which differs from earlier studies. A comparison HIPVs emitted revealed differences up- or down-regulation, significant variations specific compounds (12 26 damaged-plants). Only compounds, E -caryophyllene tetradecane, significantly varied because either herbivore, overall variation HIPV blend. Differences may be attributed distinct feeding habits activate different defensive pathways plant's challenge simultaneously activating explain this study, also own observations greenhouses.
