Insect-Plant Interactions and Induced Plant Defence - Induced Plant Defenc

Diese Monographie vereinigt Beiträge aus der chemischen, zell- und molekularbiologischen Forschung an Universitäten und in der Industrie zum Thema der Wechselwirkung zwischen Insekten und Pflanzen. Diskutiert werden unter anderem die Aussendung von Pflanzensignalen an räuberische oder parasitoide Spezies, Strategien der Pflanze zur Abwehr von Angriffen und Möglichkeiten zur kommerziellen Verwertung der Erkenntnisse.

Summary

Insect-Plant Interactions and Induced Plant Defence Chair: John A. Pickett 1999 This book examines the sophisticated mechanisms that plants use to defend themselves against attack by insects and pathogens, focusing on the networks of plant signalling pathways that underlie these defences.
