-Mediated GLVs Enhance Rice Resistance to Brown Planthoppers.

Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) play pivotal roles in plant anti-herbivore defense. This study investigated whether the rice 13-lipoxygense gene is involved in GLV production and plant defense in rice. The overexpression of ( lines) in rice resulted in increased wound-induced levels of two prominent GLVs, -3-hexen-1-ol and -3-hexenal.
