Title:
'Plant-Insect Interactions: the Potential Role of Cross-Talk in |
 |
| Research:
Plants adjust their defense responses to target herbivores. In response, insect herbivores have evolved adaptive strategies to undermine these plant defenses. Research in Bede's laboratory lies at the boundary of plant-caterpillar interactions, characterizing the co-adaptive responses between plant and caterpillar herbivores at the molecular, biochemical and physiological levels. Understanding the underpinnings of these complex interactions is critical to gain insight into the complex molecular evolution between plants and insects and develop effective pest management strategies.
