Summary

Insect-plant interactions are fundamental to the survival and evolution of both organisms, playing a pivotal role in shaping ecosystems and influencing agricultural practices. Understanding the underlying genomics and molecular mechanisms of these interactions is essential for unraveling their intricate complexities and potential applications. We invite researchers, scientists, and scholars to contribute to our special issue dedicated to "Genomics and Molecular Biology of Insect-Plant Interactions."


Scope and Topics of Interest:

  • Molecular signaling and communication between insects and plants.

  • Genomic insights into co-evolutionary relationships.

  • Induced plant defenses against herbivory.

  • Mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility in plants.

  • Insect herbivore adaptations and their genetic basis.

  • Novel tools and techniques in studying these interactions.

  • Plant biotechnology and breeding for resistance.

  • Climate change and its impact on genomics of interactions.

  • Insect-plant interactions in diverse ecosystems.

  • Conservation and biodiversity implications.
