Primary tabs

Resistance to inhibit, block or modify the metabolism of the pest and limit multiple feeding strategies of Insect Herbivores to reduce obtain nutrient from host plants and emit volatiles to attract natural enemies and warn neighboring plants of the imminent threat ((Santamaria et al, 2013)
