Gossypol is a polyphenolic secondary metabolite produced by cotton plants, which is toxic to
many organisms. Gossypol's aldehyde groups are especially reactive, forming Schiff bases …

Cotton plants produce gossypol as a major secondary metabolite to resist insect herbivores
and pathogens. Helicoverpa armigera may employ multigene families of detoxification …

Cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) is the major insect herbivore of cotton plants. As its
larvae feed and grow on cotton, H. armigera can likely tolerate gossypol, the main defense …

Gossypol, a phenolic compound found in the cotton plant, is widely distributed in cottonseed
by-products. Although ruminant animals are believed to be more tolerant of gossypol toxicity …

Cotton plants accumulate phytotoxins, including gossypol and related sesquiterpene
aldehydes, to resist insect herbivores and pathogens. To counteract these defensive plant …

The relationship between plants and insects is continuously evolving, and many insects rely
on biochemical strategies to mitigate the effects of toxic chemicals in their food plants …
