Plant responses to specific environmental stimuli at the molecular and genetic levels have been widely reported in recent decades, mainly as a consequence of the availability of new laboratory techniques. However, understanding the complex implications of these observations at the ecosystem level remains one of the greatest challenges facing plant science today. Recently, new experimental strategies have been designed to address complex interactions. For example, combinations of different insects have been used to study insect–plant interactions (Dicke et al., 2009) as well as parallel analysis of the responses to different types of pathogen which reflect more closely the conditions encountered in natural ecosystems (Pieterse et al., 2009).

In this issue, the two papers by Bruinsma and colleagues also address such complex issues; the detailed analysis of plant responses to different herbivores and JA application are documented, and the responses of parasitic wasps that attack . . . [Full Text of this Article]
