Abstract
Semiochemicals are organic compounds (volatile and non-volatile) that allow organisms to communicate with one another. Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one such kind of semiochemical which helps insects to localize their vital resources and a potential mate. This review highlights the ecological importance of such VOCs in the widely diverse interactions between plants and insects. Additionally, this review provides an overview of the function that plant and insect associated microbial communities play in shaping such volatile mediated interactions. Understanding volatile semiochemical-mediated interactions between plants and insects, as well as the role of accompanying microorganisms in structuring such interactions, will be crucial for designing ecologically sustainable insect pest management solutions.
