The glucosinolates (GSLs) is a well-defined group of plant metabolites characterized by
having an S-β-d-glucopyrano unit anomerically connected to an O-sulfated (Z) …

Plants have been interacting with insects for several hundred million years, leading to
complex defense approaches against various insect feeding strategies. Some defenses are …

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 …

Aphids are important herbivores of both wild and cultivated plants. Plants rely on unique
mechanisms of recognition, signalling and defence to cope with the specialized mode of …

Herbivorous insects use diverse feeding strategies to obtain nutrients from their host plants.
Rather than acting as passive victims in these interactions, plants respond to herbivory with …

Aphids are amongst the most damaging pests of plants that use their stylets to penetrate the
plant tissue to consume large amounts of phloem sap and thus deprive the plant of …

Selection pressure exerted by insects and microorganisms shapes the diversity of plant
secondary metabolites. We identified a metabolic pathway for glucosinolates, known insect …

Glucosinolates present classical examples of plant compounds affecting insect-plant
interactions. They are found mainly in the family Brassicaceae, which includes several …

In this review, we provide an overview of the role of glucosinolates and other phytochemical
compounds present in the Brassicaceae in relation to plant protection and human health …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …
