| Abstract | Host plant resistance is an effective approach to manage insect pests in vegetable crops. This approach involves the use of plant traits that deter or reduce insect feeding and reproduction involving the mechanisms of antibiosis, antixenosis, and tolerance. These traits affect plant–insect interactions through the production of metabolites and volatiles, which can modify insect behavior and physiology. Tri-trophic interactions between plants, insects, and natural enemies also protect plants from herbivory and increase insect parasitization. The use of transgenics and genome editing provides new opportunities to enhance host plant resistance by introducing or modifying genes involved in the production of insect-resistant traits. Understanding the mechanisms of host plant resistance and their interactions with insect pests and natural enemies is crucial for the development of effective pest management strategies that are environmentally friendly and economically sustainable. Overall, host plant resistance offers a promising approach to reducing reliance on synthetic pesticides in vegetable crop production, but continued studies are required to fully realize its potential. |
