Many secondary metabolites found in plants have a role in defence against herbivores,
pests and pathogens. In this review, a few examples are described and discussed, and …

The importance of host‐plant resistance of crop plants in the biological control of aphids and
the formation of aphid biotypes is discussed. The rapid response of plant breeders to the …

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 …

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 …

Barley plants may be severely damaged by aphids, mainly because they may transmit
viruses, remove essential nutrients, and disrupt tissues. This review discusses possible …

Indole is a key environmental cue that is used by many organisms. Based on its
biochemistry, we suggest indole is used so universally, and by such different organisms …

Simple Summary Plant defensive compounds are the effective measures for host plants to
defend against herbivorous insects, whereas in turn insects evolve an array of detoxifying …

The feeding behaviour of Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov)(Homoptera: Aphididae) was
electronically monitored on five cereal species (Triticum aestivum L., T. turgidum L., Secale …

A strong negative relationship was found between the concentrations of procyanidin, a
condensed tannin, in the leaf bud petioles of seven genotypes of groundnut (Arachis …

Rotation systems and allelopathic interactions between plants-plants, plants-insects, plants-
microorganisms would be important to exploit allelopathy in optimising the production of …
