Chemical, Physiological and Molecular Responses of Host Plants to Lepidopteran Egg-Laying

Plant-lepidopteran interactions involve complex processes encompassing molecules and regulators to counteract defense responses they develop against each other. Lepidoptera identify plants for oviposition and exploit them as larval food sources to complete their development. In turn, plants adopt di...
