Résumé :
|
The aim of these proceedings is to bring together a wide range of research on the mechanisms of woody plant resistance against various insects and to search for common threads among these plant-insect associations with respect to the mechanisms of plant defence. The 27 papers are organized in 3 main groups. Plant defences are examined from various basic physiological and ecological considerations in the 1st section. The remaining papers, which are mainly case studies of plant resistance against insects, are categorized on the basis of insect intimacy with host tissues into: highly mobile, free feeders; and poorly mobile or imbedded feeders. Each section is subdivided with respect to the kind of tissue attacked by the insects, either leaves or stem/shoot cortex and vascular tissues.
