author keywords: adaptation; bark beetle; chemical defence and physical defence; forest health; Pissodes strobi; plant insect interaction; plant resistance; stone cells (sclereids); terpene oleoresin; white pine weevil or spruce weevil
MeSH headings : Animals; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System; Genomics; Host-Parasite Interactions / immunology; Insecta; Microbiota; Oviposition; Phenotype; Pinus; Plant Diseases / immunology; Plant Diseases / parasitology; Proteome; Terpenes / pharmacology; Tracheophyta / immunology; Transcriptome; Weevils
TL;DR: Conifer defences that disrupt the weevil life cycle and mechanisms by which trees resist weevil attack are reviewed, highlighting molecular and genomic aspects and a possible role for theWeevil microbiome. (via Semantic Scholar)
