Earlier models of integrated pest management (IPM) focused on ecological aspects of pest
management. With the recent developments in agricultural technology, modern …

Crop domestication is the process of artificially selecting plants to increase their suitability to
human requirements: taste, yield, storage, and cultivation practices. There is increasing …

Root and rhizosphere microbial communities can affect plant health, but it remains
undetermined how plant domestication may influence these bacterial and fungal …

In modern crop production, each plant is often nearly genetically identical to its neighbours,
allowing insect pests and pathogens to move easily from plant to plant and decimate crop …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPV s) mediate critical ecological functions, but no
studies have quantitatively synthesized data published on HIPV s to evaluate broad …

Greater susceptibility to herbivory can arise as an effect of crop domestication. One
proposed explanation is that defenses decreased intentionally or unintentionally during the …

Many plant‐feeding insect species considered to be polyphagous are in fact composed of
genetically differentiated sympatric populations that use different hosts and between which …

The process of selecting certain desirable traits for plant breeding may compromise other
potentially important traits, such as defences against pests; however, specific phenotypic …

Native to the northeast USA, highbush blueberry is a crop domesticated for close to 100
years and that has been selected mainly for high yields and bigger fruit. We hypothesized …

Crop domestication has been embraced as a model system to study the genetics of plant
evolution. Yet, the role of the environment, including biotic forces such as microbial and …
