Plant Metabolites Drive Different Responses in Caterpillars of Two Closely Related Helicoverpa Species
The host acceptances of insects can be determined largely by detecting plant metabolites using insect taste. In the present study, we investigated the gustatory sensitivity and feeding behaviors of two closely related caterpillars, the generalist Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and the specialist H. a...
