Breeding for Resistance to Insect Pests of Stored Grain

摘要: The stored grain pests cause serious damage annually. According to FAO the losses from pest attack is estimated at 10 %. These arise several factors; beginning in field where already harvested may contain insect eggs, and go bad storage conditions, which favor development of these other infestations. mechanisms plant resistance grains are similar those used for crops can be classified as pre-harvest post-harvest. capable preventing infested often related architecture reproductive structure plant. post-harvest that will prevent by metabolites produced influence hardness moisture content grain. study reaction a major challenge breeding, since organism under seed this finding latency stage. In presence pest, not signal biochemicals trigger defense mechanisms. So their mechanism summarized only metabolites, give greater or lesser attack.
