Insect-Plant Interactions: Nutrition and Metabolism
1976From a phytochemical standpoint, plants are producers of chemicals, and insects are consumers. The biology of the consumer role played by insects is a very complex and intriguing subject, of which we will focus primarily on only two aspects — nutrition and metabolism. But even having so delimited the subject of discourse, it is immediately obvious that

Chemistry of insect-plant interactions
1992Chemistry plays a major role in insect-plant interactions. A workshop on the subject was held by the European Science Foundation (ESF) Network on Insect-Plant Interactions in Boldern (Switzerland), 4–7th November 1990. Since progress in this area of research needs a multidisciplinary approach, contributions in the forum of lectures and discussions came

Insect-plant interactions: endocrine defences.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1984It is the inevitable consequence of evolution that competitive species living together in a restricted space must try to exclude each other. Plants and insects are prime examples of this eternal competition, and although neither of these is in danger of extinction, their mutual defensive strategies are of compelling interest to the human race.

Insect–Plant Interactions: The Gall Factor
2010Insects interact with plants as pollinators, vectors of microbes, and gall inducers. Consequent to pollinating role of insects, plants achieve a positive outcome (pollination, fertilization, and fruit set) and consequent to the action of vectorial insects, plants achieve a negative outcome (expression of a disease caused by the vectored microbe ...
