Plant responses to enemies are coordinated by several interacting signaling systems.
Molecular and genetic studies with mutants and exogenous signal application suggest that …

During evolution, plants have developed sophisticated ways to cope with different biotic and
abiotic stresses. Phytohormones and secondary metabolites are known to play pivotal roles …

Insect pests cause significant global agricultural damage and lead to major financial and
environmental costs. Crops contain intrinsic defenses to protect themselves from such pests …

Plants regulate responses towards herbivory through fine-tuning of defence-related
hormone production, expression of defence genes, and production of secondary …

Plant odours are the most ubiquitous volatiles in nature. This chapter deals with the
biochemistry and molecular biology of plant volatiles that are emitted from vegetative tissues …

Summary In monocotyledonous plants, 1, 4‐benzoxazin‐3‐ones, also referred to as
benzoxazinoids or hydroxamic acids, are one of the most important chemical barriers …

In this review, plant-insect interaction is discussed as a dynamic system, subjected to
continual variation and change. Plants developed different mechanisms to reduce insect …

Improved knowledge of the interactions between plants and insects will facilitate better
insect control in crops. Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a vital role in plant growth …

While extensive research has examined plant defense responses to attack by herbivores
and pathogens, plant responses to parasitism by other plants are not well characterized. The …

Recent advances along numerous research avenues show that plant interactions with
biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens use similar pathways with opposing effects. The …
