    • Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus on maize landraces 

      Mutyambai, Daniel M.; Midega, Charles A.O.; Bruce, Toby J.A.; Van den Berg, Johnnie; Khan, Zeyaur R. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
      Plants defend themselves against herbivores through activation of both constitutive and induced defences. Previous studies reported that egg deposition on maize landraces induces the release of volatiles that attract ...
    • An indirect defence trait mediated through egg-induced maize volatiles from neighbouring plants 

      Mutyambai, Daniel M.; Van den Berg, Johnnie; Khan, Zeyaur R.; Bruce, Toby J.A.; Midega, Charles A.O. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Attack of plants by herbivorous arthropods may result in considerable changes to the plant’s chemical phenotype with respect to emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). These HIPVs have been shown to act as ...
