Public ISBD Titre : Induced responses to herbivory Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karban, R. ; Baldwin, I.T. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Interspecific interactions Importance : 319 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-42496-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 29/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology  Herbivores  Induced resistance  Plant animal relations  Plant response  Resistance to injurious factors Résumé : Plants face a daunting array of creatures that eat them, bore into them, and otherwise use virtually every plant part for food, shelter, or both. But although plants cannot flee from their attackers, they are far from defenseless. In addition to adaptations like thorns, which may be produced in response to attack, plants actively alter their chemistry and physiology in response to damage. For instance, young potato plant leaves being eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals that inhibit beetle digestive enzymes. Over the past fifteen years, research on these induced responses to herbivory has flourished, and here Richard Karban and Ian T. Baldwin present the first comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of this rapidly developing field. They provide state-of-the-discipline reviews and highlight areas where new research will be most productive. Their comprehensive overview will be welcomed by a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology, and agriculture.
