Plant Allelochemicals: Linkages between Herbivores and Their Natural Enemies

  • Chapter
Chemically Mediated Interactions between Plants and Other Organisms

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 19))

Abstract

Insect plant interactions have dominated the thoughts and activities of plant biochemists, insect ecologists and other entomologists for many years. A great deal of effort has been devoted to the development of unifying principles and general concepts that would be parsimonious with available empirical and experimental data and which would accurately describe the patterns exhibited in the multitude of insect-plant interactions.
