Full Description

This text examines the defence dynamics of insects and plants. Topics include the role of chemical nutrients and minerals, the defensive tactics of caterpillars, and molecular approaches to host plant defences against insects.

Contents

Phytochemical defence profiles in insect-plant interaction; the role of chemical nutrients and minerals in insect resistance in crop plants; synthetic chemicals of chemical defences in maize silks against corn earworm and their interaction in the flavonoid pathway; semiochemistry of crucifers and their herbivores; tetranorterpenoids and qusinoids - costitutive chemical defences of the rutales; role of plant surface in resistance to insect herbivores; host plant resistance to insects - measurement, mechanism and insect-plant environmental interactions; defensive tactics of caterpillars against predators and parasitoids; sluggih movement of aposematic insects as a defence mechanism against motion-oriented predators; molecular approaches to host plant defences against insects.
