Harnessing semiochemicals for parasitoid-based biological control: from laboratory identification to field applications.
Review in Crop health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Parasitoids are vital biological control agents in agricultural pest management, with mating and parasitism as their core behaviors essential for reproduction and survival. In recent decades, advanced analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD), have enabled the identification of key semiochemicals that regulate parasitoid behavior. Notably, studies on Campoletis chlorideae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) have elucidated the mechanisms of sex pheromone communication, advancing our understanding of pheromonal signaling in parasitoids. Moreover, plant-derived synomones and host-derived kairomones serve as pivotal chemical cues for host location, underpinning tritrophic (plant-pest-parasitoid) interactions. The functional characterization of olfactory receptors tuned to herbivore-induced plant volatiles and kairomones, achieved through ectopic expression systems, has further clarified the molecular mechanism underlying semiochemical-mediated behaviors. Synthetic biology offers promising avenues for manipulating parasitoid behavior by leveraging genetic and metabolic engineering of plants and yeast to release critical synomones and kairomones, thereby improving parasitoid recruitment. This review synthesizes the role of semiochemicals in mediating parasitoid behaviors, evaluates methodologies for behavioral manipulation, and explores the potential and limitations of integrating synthetic biology with semiochemicals to advance sustainable pest management.
