Exploring the Influence of Insect Honeydew on Plant Physiology and Health: Bridging the Gap in Current Understanding. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.
