Abstract

Due to the constraints and hazards of using insecticides such as development of insect resistance, severe decline in availability of conventional pesticides and off-target effects on beneficial insects (Desneux et al., 2007), there is an urgent need to develop the underpinning science to protect crop harvests from insect pests in the face of rising demand for food (Savary et al., 2019). Given the recent advances in our understanding of plant-insect interactions, it is proposed that boosting the overall plant immunity could provide novel alternative control tactics. Constitutively increasing defense could have a negative trade-off with growth or yield (Huot et al., 2014) and therefore inducing resistance could be a more attractive prospect.
