Wound and insect herbivory responsive genes in poplar
Biotechnology Letters, 2006Insect herbivory leads to induced resistance to subsequent infestations in plants. This is due in part to feeding-induced expression of genes that can lead to reduced palatability and/or digestibility of the plant material. We identified 57 distinct differentially expressed genes from poplars that were either infested by gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar ...

Plant Resistance to Insect Herbivory
2011Plants are the major food source for most insects. While insects have developed various feeding strategies, plants respond by activating distinct signaling pathways resulting in the production of defensive compounds. Important regulators in this signaling system are compounds in the insect saliva, which are often modified plant molecules.

Insect herbivory and non-woody plants
1982Herbaceous plants are usually relatively short-lived and lack the resistant structural materials found in the woody plants. Thus, the whole plant is potentially susceptible to insect herbivory. Much of the literature dealing with the effects of insects on such plants relates to agricultural crops and there is little detailed information on noneconomic ...

Insect herbivory on an inland brackish wetland
Wetlands, 1988Standing crop measurements were made in emergent wetland vegetation following acute herbivory by 2 species of leaf-chewing caterpillars,Cisseps fulvicula (Ctenucidae) andAcronicta leporina (Noctuidae). Significant weight differences were found between grazed and ungrazed stands of alkali bulrush, cattail, Olney’s bulrush, and saltgrass, respectively ...

Insect herbivory and the plant community
1982In this chapter we will examine how plant communities can modify, either directly or indirectly, the abundance and population dynamics of their associated insect herbivores and, conversely, how insect herbivores might alter the composition of plant communities [163].

Global Insect Herbivory and its Response to Climate Change
Current BiologyHerbivorous insects consume a large proportion of the energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems and play a major role in the dynamics of plant populations and communities. However, high-resolution, quantitative predictions of the global patterns of insect herbivory and their potential underlying drivers remain elusive.

Effects of insect herbivory on plant architecture
1994In plants of Mediterranean-type ecosystems, the diversity and distribution of construction units or modules of species may lead to an enhanced understanding of specific types of metameric architecture and thus of canopy construction. An analysis of 160 species of plants from ecosystems of central Chile, France, Israel and South Africa resulted in the ...
