Plants respond to herbivory through different defensive mechanisms. The induction of volatile emission is one of the important and immediate response of plants to herbivory. Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are involved in plant communication with natural enemies of the insect herbivores, neighboring plants, and different parts of the damaged plant. Release of a wide variety of HIPVs in response to herbivore damage and their role in plant-plant, plant-carnivore and intraplant communications represents a new facet of the complex interactions among different trophic levels. HIPVs are released from leaves, flowers, and fruits into the atmosphere or into the soil from roots in response to herbivore attack. Moreover, HIPVs act as feeding and/or oviposition deterrents to insect pests. HIPVs also mediate the interactions between the plants and the microorganisms. This review presents an overview of HIPVs emitted by plants, their role in plant defense against herbivores and their implications for pest management.
植物通过不同的防御机制来应对草食性动物的侵害。挥发物的诱导是植物对草食性动物侵害的重要和即时反应之一。植物诱导挥发物（HIPVs）参与了植物与昆虫草食性动物的天敌、邻近植物以及受损植物不同部位之间的交流。植物对草食性动物侵害的广泛 HIPVs 的释放及其在植物-植物、植物-肉食动物和植物内通讯中的作用代表了不同营养级之间复杂相互作用的一个新方面。HIPVs 从叶片、花朵和果实中释放到大气中，或从根部释放到土壤中，以响应草食性动物的攻击。此外，HIPVs 还可以作为食虫和/或产卵的驱避剂来阻止害虫。HIPVs 还介导了植物与微生物之间的相互作用。本文综述了植物释放的 HIPVs 及其在植物防御草食性动物中的作用，以及它们对害虫管理的意义。
