Plant-insect interactions: Molecular approaches to insect resistance

Ferry, Natalie; Edwards, Martin G; Gatehouse, John A; MR Gatehouse, Angharad

Abstract

Recent advances in our understanding of induced responses in plants and their regulation, brought about by a revolution in molecular biology, have re-focused attention on the potential exploitation of endogenous resistance mechanisms for crop protection. The future goal of crop biotechnology is thus to engineer a durable, multimechanistic resistance to insect pests through an understanding of the diversity of plant responses to insect attack.
