Green leaf C6-volatiles are among the most important
herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). They play important roles in
mediating the behavior of herbivores and their natural enemies, and in
triggering the plant-plant communication to prevent further attacks. Recently,
wound-induced ubiquitous (Z)-3-hexenol, a C6-alcohol synthesized in the
lipoxygenase/HPL pathway, was proved to be the most important infochemical for
the herbivore repellence/attraction and natural enemy attraction in tritrophic
interactions, as well as for the induction of gene expression in neighboring
unattacked plants. In spite of the conflict functions of (Z)-3-hexenol in direct
and indirect plant defenses, its positive roles in the indirect defense and the
priming effect are consistent. Therefore, this compound can be used to develop
novel insect pest control strategies.
