Insect Chemoreception: Fundamental and Applied


Add your own review!

Overview

This volume covers all the major topics relating to insect chemoreception. Part 1 addresses topics such as plant/insect interactions, pheromones, ultrastructure, electrophysiology and the biochemistry of chemoreceptors. Part 2 looks at applications of plant chemicals and cultivars in insect pest control, host plant resistance and pheromones. A concluding chapter discusses the scope and potential of genetic engineering. This account of the major aspects of sustainable insect pest control, together with the key references cited, should point the way to relevant research projects, and provide an awareness of developments in the field.
