The book "Chemical Ecology Basis of Plant Resistance to Insect" offers a comprehensive examination of chemical ecology and its role in plant resistance to insects. It focuses specifically on the interactions between bitter melon (Momordica charantia) and the leaf miner fly (Liriomyza trifolii), which is widespread in North America. The research highlights the specific compounds in the leaves of bitter melon that deter these insects from laying eggs. By identifying compounds such as Momordicine I and II, as well as newly discovered related compounds, it demonstrates how these natural substances can be used as alternative control methods against pests. The book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of chemistry, biology, and agricultural sciences, providing valuable insights into the application of plant substances for insect control.
