Introduction Tomato is an important vegetable. Its production is threatened due to altered weather patterns which increase environmental stressors such as flooding1, 2 and herbivory3 to crops. Plants respond in many ways. Stressed plants strike back to environmental stress by altering their chemistry4: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions Defensive secondary metabolites2 Stress induced physiological changes in plants impact growth and development of insects. This study is broken into two experiments: The plant response to flooding stress The insect performance on flooded plant
