| Research Abstract |
(1) The results of the tritrophic interaction of plants, herbivores and carnivores were summarized in paper entitled 'Plant-carnivore mutualism through herbivore-induced carnivore attractants' which was published in Trends in Plant Science. The results of the parasitoid-plant interaction were submitted to and accepted in Journal of Bioiogical Control (title : Plant affects on parasitoid foraging : Differences among two tritrophic systems.).
(2) In the tritrophic interactions of Crucifer plants-Pieris parae larvae-Cotesia glomerata, we identified the interaction between plants and the wasps. The results were submitted to and accepted in the journal of Chemical Ecology (title : Cotesia glomerata use fatty acids from plant-herbivore complex in host searching).
(3) The mutualistic interaction between plants and carnivores have been studied in laboratory conditions. We studied the effects of herbivore-induced plant volatiles that attract carnivores in field conditions. The predatory thrips were attracted to traps in which bean plants infested by spider mites were placed. The results were submitted to the journal of Chemical Ecology (title : Response of predatory insects Scolothrips takahashii toward herbivore-induced plant synomone in both laboratory and field conditions).
