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

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 …

The capacity to perceive and respond is integral to biological immune systems, but to what
extent can plants specifically recognize and respond to insects? Recent findings suggest …

Insect pests are responsible for substantial crop losses worldwide through direct damage
and transmission of plant diseases, and novel approaches that complement or replace …

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 …

Plant diseases can drastically abate the crop yields as the degree of disease outbreak is
getting severe around the world. Therefore, plant disease management has always been …

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 …

Planthoppers are highly destructive pests in crop production worldwide. Brown planthopper
(BPH) causes the most serious damage of the rice crop globally among all rice pests …

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 …

The basal defenses important in curtailing the development of the phloem-feeding silverleaf
whitefly (Bemisia tabaci type B; SLWF) on Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) were …
