Ethylene emission by a deciduous tree, Tilia americana, in response to feeding by introduced basswood thrips, Thrips calcaratus
Journal of Chemical Ecology 21 (2), 187-197
Abstract: Ethylene emission from excised and intact American basswood tissue was increased after seedlings were infested with the bud-feeding herbivore, Thrips calcaratus. Gas chromatographic analysis showed that thrips-infested tissue produced significantly more ethylene than mechanically damaged or control tissue. The possibility that thrips feeding enhances ethylene-mediated stress signals is discussed.
