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. Not Available |
