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 …

▪ 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 …

Plants are members of complex communities and interact both with antagonists and
beneficial organisms. An important question in plant defense-signaling research is how …

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 …

Plants collectively produce hundreds of thousands of specialized metabolites that are not
required for growth or development. Each species has a qualitatively unique profile, with …

Plants being the producers of food have been constantly under attack by insects. During
evolution, plants have not just developed different mechanisms to defend themselves but …

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 evolved sophisticated systems to cope with herbivore challenges. When plants
perceive herbivore-derived physical and chemical cues, such as elicitors in insects' oral …

Plants are frequently attacked by herbivores and pathogens and therefore have acquired
constitutive and induced defenses during the course of their evolution. Here we review …
