Theoretical Approaches • Antibiosis • Antixenosis • Tolerance
Methodological Approaches • Mendelian approach • Biometrician’s approach • Biotechnologist’s approach
Resistance to Bt crops Bt crop Non-Bt crop (refuge)
Plant defenses • Constitutive • Induced
Future goal of plant resistance: • To incorporate plant defense genes into crops.
