The text discusses how to identify and develop plant materials with resistance to insect pests, covering terminology and categories of resistance and presenting techniques for studying plant resistance. Consideration is also given to potentially resistant material, with examination of the molecular biology and genetics of insect resistance in crop plants and insect genes capable of overcoming resistance to form insect biophytes. The closing chapter presents hitherto unpublished information on the use of transgenic plants with insect resistance and assesses the ways that insect resistant cultivars work with other management techniques to suppress insect populations. The text will be of interest to plant breeders, pest managers, agriculture and horticulture scientists.
