Induced defenses in apple fruits: linking fruit chemistry, quality, and plant-insect-microbe interactions

Plants synthesize a diverse array of phytochemicals in response to interactions with herbivores, pathogens, and commensal microbes. These phytochemicals may simultaneously enhance crop defense and quality, representing a potential pest management strategy. However, plant chemical responses to differ...
