Exploiting Induced Plant Resistance for Sustainable Pest Management: Mechanisms, Elicitors, and Applications: A Review

Nikitha Reddy Gaddam, Thamidela Meera Devi, Rupali J. S., Darapureddy. N.S.S.S & Gundreddy Raja Reddy · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2024

Plants and phytophagous (plant-eating) arthropods have coevolved over millions of years, leading to the development of both constitutive and inducible defense mechanisms in plants. Despite this long history of coexistence, it remains unclear how to precisely regulate each host-ar...
