  • Behaviour and biology ofChilo partelluson maize landraces 
    Mutyambai, Daniel M.; Midega, Charles A. O.; Bruce, Toby J. A.; Berg, Johnnie van den; Pickett, John A.; Khan, Zeyaur R. (Wiley, 2014)
    Plants defend themselves against herbivores through activation of both constitutive and induced defences. Previous studies reported that egg deposition on maize landraces induces the release of vol- atiles that attract ...
  • An Indirect Defence Trait Mediated through Egg-Induced Maize Volatiles from Neighbouring Plants 
    Mutyambai, Daniel M.; Bruce, Toby J.; van den Berg, Johnnie; Midega, Charles A.; Pickett, John A.; Khan, Zeyaur R. (Public Library of Science, 2016-07-08)
    Attack of plants by herbivorous arthropods may result in considerable changes to the plant’s chemical phenotype with respect to emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). These HIPVs have been shown to act as ...
  • Responses of parasitoids to volatiles induced by chilo partellus oviposition on teosinte, a wild ancestor of maize 
    Mutyambai, Daniel M.; Bruce, Toby J. A.; Midega, Charles A. O.; Woodcock, Christine M.; Caulfield, John C.; Berg, Johnnie Van Den; Pickett, John A.; Khan, Zeyaur R. (Springer Verlag, 2015)
    Maize, a genetically diverse crop, is the domesticated descendent of its wild ancestor, teosinte. Recently, we have shown that certain maize landraces possess a valuable indirect defense trait not present in commercial ...
