Crop Insect Species Remarks References
Groundnut Tobacco caterpillar,
Spodoptera litura
Sunfl ower Sunfl ower midge,
Contarinia schulzi (Sch.)
Sweet
potato
Sweet potato weevil, Cylas
formicarius elegantulus
(Fab.)
Lettuce Lettuce root aphid,
Pemphigus bursarius (L.)
High cholorogenic and caffeoylquinic
acid contents associated with
resistance.
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)
injected in fl ower buds resulted in
damage similar to sunfl ower midge.
Boehmeryl acetate and its alcohol,
boehmerol act as oviposition
stimulants.
Visualizing phenolic acids by using
fl uorescence microscopy.

Morphological Markers Associated with Resistance to Insect Pests
Momordicine III acts as antifeedant. Yasui, Kato, and Yazawa
(1998)
Moisture and potassium contents of the Dhillon et al. (2005b)
fruit are positively correlated, while
the reducing sugars are negatively
associated with fruit fl y infestation.

resistance.
Sorghum Shoot fl y, Atherigona soccata Trichomes, leaf glossiness, and leaf
sheath pigmentation are associated
with oviposition nonpreference.
Silica deposition imparts resistance.
Stem borer, Chilo partellus Ligular hairs, leaf glossiness, and
panicle initiation are associated with
resistance.
Sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis
sorghicola
Short and tight glumes, and faster
rate of grain development impart
resistance.
