      abstract = {As food producers, plants are constantly under attack by  insects. Over the course of evolution, plants have not only  developed a sophisticated defense apparatus but have also  refined biochemical defense mechanisms to protect  themselves, thereby maintaining the ecological balance.  Plant-pest interactions induce an elaborate array of  reactions involving the release of volatile compounds,  effector and signaling molecules, trans-membrane proteins,  and a variety of enzymes and hormones. This book offers a  comprehensive guide to the strategies that plants employ  against insects and other pests to ensure their continued  survival. Addressing an important gap in the literature, it  shares the latest findings in the field of plant-pest  interactions for a broad audience. Providing an overview of  the current state of knowledge on plant-pest interactions  and their role in the genetic improvement of crops, it  offers an essential guide for researchers and professionals  in the fields of agriculture, plant pathology, entomology,  cell biology, molecular biology and genetics.},
