Plants respond to herbivory through various morphological, biochemicals, and molecular
mechanisms to counter/offset the effects of herbivore attack. The biochemical mechanisms of …

Plants have been interacting with insects for several hundred million years, leading to
complex defense approaches against various insect feeding strategies. Some defenses are …

Phenols are major compounds produced by plant species as a peripheral stimulus or as a
regulatory defense mechanism under different environmental biotic stresses. These …

Plants face a daunting array of creatures that eat them, bore into them, and otherwise use
virtually every plant part for food, shelter, or both. But although plants cannot flee from their …

▪ Abstract Plants respond to herbivore attack with a bewildering array of responses, broadly
categorized as direct and indirect defenses, and tolerance. Plant-herbivore interactions are …

A bstract Plant responses to herbivores are complex. Genes activated on herbivore attack
are strongly correlated with the mode of herbivore feeding and the degree of tissue damage …

This review described the physiological and biochemical effects of various secondary
metabolites from Meliaceae against major Lepidopteran insect pest including, Noctuidae …

The genetics of arthropod resistance have been studied since the early 20th century, when
Harlan (1916) demonstrated that resistance to the leaf blister mite, Eriophyes gossypii …

In this essay I summarize current trends in the evolutionary ecology of plant defence, while
advocating for approaches that integrate community ecology with specific tests of classic …

Given that a plant's defensive strategy against herbivory is never likely to be a single trait, we
develop the concept of plant defense syndromes, where association with specific ecological …
