This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) quality and yield can be reduced by feeding of several insect pests. Host plant resistance to these insects is an environmentally sound adjunct to conventional chemical control. In this study I compared the survival, development and feeding behavior of cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) and beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) on two romaine lettuce cultivars, resistant 'Valmaine' and susceptible 'Tall Guzmaine'. The survival and development of both species was significantly less on resistant Valmaine than on susceptible Tall Guzmaine. The two insect species showed different feeding preference for leaves of different age groups on Valmaine and Tall Guzmaine. Latex from Valmaine strongly inhibited feeding of banded cucumber beetle, Diabrotica balteata LeConte compared to Tall Guzmaine when applied to the surface of artificial diet in both choice and no-choice tests. In a choice test involving diet disks treated with Valmaine latex from young leaves versus mature leaves, the beetles consumed significantly less diet treated with latex from young than mature leaves. No significance difference in feeding was found between diet disks treated with latex from young and mature Tall Guzmaine leaves in choice tests. Three solvents of differing polarity (water, methanol and methylene chloride) were tested to extract deterrent compounds from latex; Valmaine latex extracted with water:methanol (20:80) strongly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research indicates that plants may be defended by mechanisms activated only after a plant has been challenged by a herbivore. Examines these inducible defenses and provides a framework for future advances in the field. Also serves as a summary and compilation of major studies to date on important areas of plant and insect ecology. While treating both vertebrates and invertebrates it covers mechanisms and models of long- and short-term induction. The impact of inducible phytochemicals on herbivores is extensively discussed as are pesticidal activity of inducible phytochemicals. Covers agricultural implications of inducible phytochemicals.

Download or read book Induced Resistance for Plant Defense written by Dale R. Walters and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Induced resistance offers the prospect of broad spectrum, long-lasting and potentially environmentally-benign disease and pest control in plants. Induced Resistance for Plant Defense 2e provides a comprehensive account of the subject, encompassing the underlying science and methodology, as well as research on application of the phenomenon in practice. The second edition of this important book includes updated coverage of cellular aspects of induced resistance, including signalling and defenses, costs and trade-offs associated with the expression of induced resistance, research aimed at integrating induced resistance into crop protection practice, and induced resistance from a commercial perspective. Current thinking on how beneficial microbes induce resistance in plants has been included in the second edition. The 14 chapters in this book have been written by internationally-respected researchers and edited by three editors with considerable experience of working on induced resistance. Like its predecessor, the second edition of Induced Resistance for Plant Defense will be of great interest to plant pathologists, plant cell and molecular biologists, agricultural scientists, crop protection specialists, and personnel in the agrochemical industry. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological, agricultural, horticultural and forest sciences are studied and taught should have copies of this book on their shelves.
