Defense Signaling in Plant Herbivory by Raj Kumar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Plants have evolved various defense mechanisms against herbivory, including constitutive and induced defenses. In response to insect feeding or oral secretions, plants activate sophisticated signaling networks involving jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, ethylene, and volatile organic compounds. These pathways regulate changes in gene expression, metabolism, and the release of airborne signals that can prime neighboring plants or attract predators of the herbivores. Jasmonic acid signaling in particular plays a
