Explore the intricate world of Insect-Plant Interactions and Induced Plant Defence in this essential Novartis Foundation Symposium. Discover how plants deploy sophisticated defence mechanisms, including releasing volatile semiochemicals as ‘SOS’ signals to attract natural enemies of herbivores. Delve into endogenous defences like systemic acquired resistance and phytoalexins, crucial for pathogen resistance. This interdisciplinary volume, essential for agricultural pest control, examines the biochemical pathways behind plant stress responses and the biosynthesis of defence compounds. Learn about exciting possibilities in plant molecular genetics for exploiting these signalling pathways to enhance crop resistance. A vital resource for entomologists, chemical ecologists, molecular biologists, and plant physiologists.
