Activity of volatile compounds in glandular trichomes ofLycopersicon species against two insect herbivores.

abstract：:Diseases of marine organisms, and sponges in particular, are increasingly reported worldwide. Prior research indicates that the survival of sponges on reefs is due largely to their production of biologically active secondary metabolites that provide protection from a diversity of stressors.
