Stressed plants emit a variety of chemicals into the environment, leading to increased pest resistance in neighbouring plants but the genetic and molecular mechanisms of the emissions remain obscure. Recently, Gong et al. identified novel methyl salicylate (MeSA)-mediated airborne defence that confers resistance to neighbouring plants against aphids and viruses.

Aphids represent a major threat to crops. Hundreds of different viruses are aphid-borne. Upon aphid attack, plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as airborne alarm signals to turn on the airborne defense (AD) of neighboring plants, thereby repelling aphids as well as reducing aphid fitness and virus transmission.
