This latest volume in Wiley Blackwell's prestigious Annual Plant
Reviews brings together articles that describe the biochemical,
genetic, and ecological aspects of plant interactions with insect
herbivores.. The biochemistry section of this outstanding volume
includes reviews highlighting significant findings in the area of
plant signalling cascades, recognition of herbivore-associated
molecular patterns, sequestration of plant defensive metabolites
and perception of plant semiochemicals by insects. Chapters in the
genetics section are focused on genetic mapping of herbivore
resistance traits and the analysis of transcriptional responses in
both plants and insects. The ecology section includes chapters that
describe plant-insect interactions at a higher level, including
multitrophic interactions, investigations of the cost-benefit
paradigm and the altitudinal niche-breadth hypothesis, and a
re-evaluation of co-evolution in the light of recent molecular
research.
Written by many of the world's leading researchers in these
subjects, and edited by Claudia Voelckel and Georg Jander, this
volume is designed for students and researchers with some
background in plant molecular biology or ecology, who would like to
learn more about recent advances or obtain a more in-depth
understanding of this field. This volume will also be of great use
and interest to a wide range of plant scientists and entomologists
and is an essential purchase for universities and research
establishments where biological sciences are studied and
taught.
