Abstract: Plant volatiles show different effects on insect behaviors, which included luring, repelling and killing. After damaged by phytophagous insects, some host plants could send volatiles luring natural enemies as an indirect defense. Asummarize on the new advances of plant volatiles was given. The role of plant volatiles in integrated pest management in future was also discussed.
