Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 47, Insect-Plant Interactions / Annual Plant Reviews Bd.47 (ePub)

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.
