Sugarcane leaf-derived metabolites play important role in Saccharum officinarum–Spodoptera frugiperda interactions by Liangyinan Su, Chunyu Hu, Chaoqi Wang, Baoshan Chen, Yang Zhao

“…In this study, we identified 46 non-volatile organic compounds (NOCs) and 15 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that differed significantly between the resistant and susceptible sugarcane lines. Phenolic acids constituted the majority of differential NOCs, with approximately 66.7% of these phenolic acids being more abundant in the susceptible line. …”
