Plant-insect interactions: molecular approaches to insect resistance

Natalie Ferry et al. Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2004 Apr.

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.
