Mechanisms and Deployment of Resistance in Trees to Insects

This text represents a worldwide synthesis of tree resistance to insects. The contributions are by senior scientists and represent all the major forested regions of the world. It constitutes a comprehensive treatment of the state of our knowledge on patterns of resistance by insect guilds and how this knowledge can be deployed to achieve the management of damaging forest insects. The book should serve as a reference for all researchers and practitioners attempting to manage forest pests using genetic resistance.
