On Mathematical Modelling of Plant-Insect Interactions
Plants and Insects are studied since decades, but, most of the time, separately. In Agronomy, plants are studied in order to improve crop yields while insects are studied in order to control their (negative or positive) impacts on crop yields. It is well known that plants and insects are always in interaction but, surprisingly, they are very few mathematical models of these interactions. For in...
متن کاملModelling density-dependent resistance in insect-pathogen interactions.
We consider a mathematical model for a host-pathogen interaction where the host population is split into two categories: those susceptible to disease and those resistant to disease. Since the model was motivated by studies on insect populations, we consider a discrete-time model to reflect the discrete generations which are common among insect species. Whether an individual is born susceptible ...

متن کاملThe Role of Yeasts as Insect Endosymbionts
Insect associations with fungi are common and may be casual or highly specific and obligate. For example, more than 40 fungal species are associated with the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei, Coleoptera: Curculionidae; Pérez et al. 2003) and about the same number with the subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Zoberi and Grace 1990; table 9.1). In one system 28 species of yeasts w...
متن کاملPlant-insect interactions: molecular approaches to insect resistance.
Recent advances in our understanding of induced responses in plants and their regulation, brought about by a revolution in molecular biology, have re-focused attention on the potential exploitation of endogenous resistance mechanisms for crop protection. The future goal of crop biotechnology is thus to engineer a durable, multimechanistic resistance to insect pests through an understanding of t...
