Professor Dr. Arlindo Leal Boiça Junior

Description
Introduction to the course; history; concepts of resistant plants and levels of resistance; pseudoresistance, focusing on host evasion, escape, and agricultural practices; forms of detecting resistance in relation to the insect and the plant; categories of resistance (constitutive and induced): non-preference for feeding, oviposition, or shelter, antibiosis, and tolerance; causes of resistance: physical (radiation), chemical (substances acting on insect behavior and metabolism and nutritional deficiencies), morphological (types of epidermis, size and arrangement of structures), others (insect behavior and plant physiology); factors influencing the expression of resistance: plant, insect, and environmental factors; transgenic plants; relationship between resistant genotypes and pest population density; resistant varieties and insecticides; resistant varieties and biological control; resistant plants and integrated pest management; techniques and methodologies for resistance studies, focusing on various agricultural insect pests.
