Overview
This volume encompasses and unites all the major topics relating to Insect Chemoreception. Part 1 addresses topics such as plant/insect interactions, pheromones, ultrastructure, electrophysiology and the biochemistry of chemoreceptors. Part 2 embraces applications of plant chemicals and cultivars in insect pest control, host plant resistance and pheromones. A concluding chapter discusses the scope and potential of genetic engineering.
This comprehensive account of the major aspects of sustainable insect pest control, together with the key references cited, will point the way to relevant research projects, and provide an up-to-date awareness of recent developments in the field.
Audience: Graduate students and researchers in insect chemoreception, chemical ecology and sustainable pest control.

Booknews
Written for graduate students and researchers in insect chemoreception, chemical ecology, and sustainable pest control, this book addresses fundamentals of insect chemoreception and describes applications of plant chemicals and cultivars in insect pest control, host plant resistance, and pheromones. Coverage includes plant chemicals, pheromones, the chemoreceptive organs, and biochemistry and eletrophysiology of chemoreception, as well as plant chemicals in pest control, host plant resistance, and pheromones in plant protection. A final chapter discusses the potential of genetic engineering. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
