Plant volatiles: from ecology to exploitation
- mercoledì 03 aprile 2013
Giornata di studio - ore 9.00
Giornata di studio organizzata su proposta del Comitato consultivo per la Biologia agraria dei Georgofili, in collaborazione con European Science Foundation e Consiglio Nazionale delle RicercheThe EuroVol program overall objective is to understand the roles of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) in the food-web and in plant
interactions with the environment under current and future climate.
EuroVol is organised in three specific projects
1. Molecular and metabolic bases of volatile isoprenoid-induced resistance to stresses (MOMEVIP)
Coordinator: Francesco Loreto
2. Induction of plant VOC emission by biotic and abiotic stresses and consequences for community ecology: a multidisciplinary approach (A-BIO-VOC)
Coordinator: Marcel Dicke
3. Consequences of insect invasions for plant-insect interactions mediated by volatile organic compounds (INVAVOL)
Coordinator: Ted Turlings
This midterm meeting represents the opportunity to exchange experience and results between the EuroVol participants.
