Abstract

Introduction

  • Tomato is an important vegetable. Its production is threatened due to altered weather patterns which increase environmental stressors such as flooding1, 2 and herbivory3 to crops.
  • Plants respond in many ways. Stressed plants strike back to environmental stress by altering their chemistry4:
  1. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions
  2. Defensive secondary metabolites2
  • Stress induced physiological changes in plants impact growth and development of insects.
  • This study is broken into two experiments:
  1. The plant response to flooding stress
  2. The insect performance on flooded plants
