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

Plants respond to insect herbivory with responses broadly known as direct defenses, indirect
defenses, and tolerance. Direct defenses include all plant traits that affect susceptibility of …

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 …

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

Two signaling pathways, one involving salicylic acid and another involving jasmonic acid,
participate in the expression of plant resistance to pathogens and insect herbivores. In this …

▪ 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 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 protect themselves from arthropod herbivores both directly, by expressing
biochemical and morphological traits that interfere with herbivore development or behavior …

There is always a silent war between plants and herbivorous insects that we are rarely privy
to. In this silent war, chemicals act as both weapons and messengers. Insect–plant co …

In recent years, induced plant defenses have received widespread attention from biologists
in a variety of disciplines. The mechanisms underlying these defenses and the interactions …
