Plant-herbivore relationships are complex interactions encompassing elaborate networks of
molecules, signals and strategies used to overcome defences developed by each other …

Herbivorous arthropods have interacted with plants for millions of years. During feeding they
release chemical cues that allow plants to detect the attack and mount an efficient defense …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

The singer–song-writer Paul Simon sang about the '50 ways to leave your lover'; plants have
at least as many ways of coping with their insect herbivores. Recent research has elucidated …

Crop plants exhibit a wide diversity of defensive traits and strategies to protect themselves
from damage by herbivorous pests and disease. These defensive traits may be naturally …

▪ 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 …

Interactions between plants and insect herbivores are important determinants of plant
productivity in managed and natural vegetation. In response to attack, plants have evolved a …

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

Plants encounter numerous pests and pathogens in the natural environment. An appropriate
response to attack by such organisms can lead to tolerance or resistance mechanisms that …

Plants respond to herbivore attack through a complex and variable system of defense,
involving different physical barriers, toxic chemicals, and recruitment of natural enemies. To …
