Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most demanded cereal crop globally highest
genetic yield potential, grown in diverse environmental conditions. As the
damage caused by insect pests is economically significant in maize with
effective and sustainable pest management strategies are the need of the
hour. Plant resistance is a complex phenomenon involving several traits
that determine the categorization of resistance/susceptibility to insect
pests. Maize contains a wide array of constitutive and inducible defense
mechanisms including structural and biochemical traits to protect from insect
pests attack. Maize produces Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVS) and
specific volatile organic compounds to activate systemic plant defenses, in
neighboring plants. In maize, several phytohormones and their derivatives play an important role in modulating plant defenses. In this book chapter the
role of morphological characters, biochemical constituents associated with
maize resistance to insect pests, and induced defenses by various external
stimuli have been discussed. Besides, the utilization of HIPVs in attracting
natural enemies, herbivore-associated molecular patterns, phytohormones
in plant signaling, and the role of endosymbionts are deeply elaborated.
Furthermore, implications of maize IPM, and novel strategies for enhancing
maize defenses are highlighted.
