A mechanistic framework integrating morphological, physiological, and redox-mediated defenses underlying sesame resistance to Antigastra catalaunalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).

Abstract excerpt

Antigastra catalaunalis Duponchel (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a host-specialized lepidopteran pest of sesame, represents a major biotic stress in sesame, yet the coordinated plant defense mechanisms conferring resistance remain inadequately understood. We investigated thirteen sesame genotypes to elucidate plant-mediated resistance through an integrated assessment of morphological, physiological, biochemical, and...
