Plants and insects : the human perspective. Human uses -- Plant-insect interactions and the human role. 330 $a"Specific organic compounds and intriguing chemistry determine whether insects are keen on feeding on plants or avoid certain plants altogether. Some insects have learned to use plant compounds as their own defences, and some plants use digestive processes to use insects as nutritional supplements. Plant-insect interactions are vital for our food supply, for pollination of orchards or detrimentally in insect infestations of crops, as well as in applications like silk production. This book benefits from Margareta Se?quin's vast experience leading field trips and seminars to botanical gardens and nature reserves, and teaching chemistry to beginners. Organic chemistry is often seen as a challenging, sometimes abstract field. This book makes chemistry exciting and accessible for readers interested in a deeper understanding of the natural world."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aInsect-plant relationships 606 $aInsects$xComposition 606 $aPlants$xComposition 606 $aChemistry, Organic 615 0$aInsect-plant relationships. 615 0$aInsects$xComposition. 615 0$aPlants$xComposition. 615 0$aChemistry, Organic. 676 $a595.715 700 $aSequin$b Margareta$01808658 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963889003321 996 $aThe Chemistry of Plants and Insects$94359034 997 $aUNINA
