Plant interactions with multiple insect herbivores: from community to genes
JM Stam, A Kroes, Y Li, R Gols… - Annual review of …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Every plant is a member of a complex insect community that consists of tens to hundreds of
species that belong to different trophic levels. The dynamics of this community are critically …

Crop domestication and its impact on naturally selected trophic interactions
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 …

Genotypically diverse cultivar mixtures for insect pest management and increased crop yields
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 …

Domestication impacts on plant–herbivore interactions: a meta-analysis
For millennia, humans have imposed strong selection on domesticated crops, resulting in
drastically altered crop phenotypes compared with wild ancestors. Crop yields have …

Herbivore induction of the glucosinolate–myrosinase defense system: major trends, biochemical bases and ecological significance
S Textor, J Gershenzon - Phytochemistry Reviews, 2009 - Springer
Like many other plant defense compounds, glucosinolates are present constitutively in plant
tissues, but are also induced to higher levels by herbivore attack. Of the major glucosinolate …

Optimizing crops for biocontrol of pests and disease
Volatile compounds and extrafloral nectar are common defenses of wild plants; however, in
crops they bear an as-yet underused potential for biological control of pests and diseases …
