Herbivore attack is known to induce an array of biochemical reactions in host plant, resulting in the emission of many volatile defence compounds. Plants mobilize these volatiles to attract predators to assist in combating against the herbivores. This mechanism plays a vital role in regulating the interactions between plants and herbivores. In this paper, we applied the An-Liu-Johnson-Lovett Model to simulate the emission dynamics of defense volatile chemicals. The role of these volatiles in the induced defence in plants is also discussed.
