CHEMICAL DEFENSES that PROTECT PLANTS AGAINST INSECT ATTACK

Speaker:  Georg Jander, professor in Plant Biology and the School of Integrative Plant Science.  Plants in nature are fed upon by a million or more species of insect.  However, any given plant is resistant to the vast majority of insect herbivores.  This resistance is largely due to an array of often species-specific chemical defenses that protect plants against insect attack.
