Insect Feeding Assays with Spodoptera exigua on Arabidopsis thaliana
Plant-insect interaction is an important field for studying plant immunity. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the best-known agricultural pest insects and is usually used to study plant interactions with chewing insects. Here, we describe a

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]
Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

Plant-based insect repellents: a review of their efficacy, development and testing. [PDF]
: Plant-based repellents have been used for generations in traditional practice as a personal protection measure against host-seeking mosquitoes. Knowledge on traditional repellent plants obtained through ethnobotanical studies is a valuable resource for

Plant sulphur nutrition influencing host-plant selection and performance of insect herbivores [PDF]
In the past several years, sulphur (S) deficiencies in agricultural crops have been reported with increasing frequency and therefore more interest has been directed into plant nutrition and fertilisation with particular respect to this element.

The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L. [PDF]
A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these

Flowers through insect eyes: the contribution of pollinator vision to the evolution of flower colour [PDF]
PhDFlowers’ colours are an essential element of their ability to attract visits from pollinators. However, the colours as they appear to human observers can differ substantially from their appearance to insect pollinators, and so it is essential to ...

Inhibition of lipoxygenase affects induction of both direct and indirect plant defences against herbivorous insects [PDF]
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of insects associated with the plant. For biting–chewing herbivores the octadecanoid signal-transduction pathway has been suggested to play a key role in induced plant defence.
