Arthropod-resistant crops provide significant ecological and economic benefits to global
agriculture. Incompatible interactions involving resistant plants and avirulent pest arthropods …

Plants may also be resistant to arthropods via the tolerance category of resistance, as
defined in Chapter 1, by possessing the ability to withstand or recover from damage caused …

Herbivorous insects are widespread and often serious constraints to crop production. The
use of insect‐resistant crops is a very effective way to control insect pests in agriculture, and …

▪ Abstract This review examines how molecular markers can be used to increase our
understanding of the mechanisms of plant resistance to insects and develop insect resistant …

This book is divided into 3 sections as follows: what is plant resistance to insects?; how is
plant resistance to insects obtained?; and how can plant resistance to insects be utilized …

The current concepts of host plant resistance to insects are reviewed in this book. The broad
coverage includes crop plant and insect diversity, mechanisms of insect-plant interactions …

Recent advances in our understanding of induced responses in plants and their regulation,
brought about by a revolution in molecular biology, have re-focused attention on the …

Plant resistance to a herbivore results from the expression by the plant of resistance-related
traits that interfere with one or more aspects of the herbivore's complex interaction with the …

Plant genes participating in the recognition of aphid herbivory in concert with plant genes
involved in defense against herbivores mediate plant resistance to aphids. Several such …

The world population has been galloping upward at an unprecedented rate in the recent
past and has jumped from 3.5 billion to more than 7.4 billion during the last 50 years. So far …
