To meet the global challenge of a sustainable agricultural production with a reduced pesticide use it is imperative to develop novel environmentally safe methods that can complement the current pesticide-based crop protection programs.The rapidly developing genomic/genetic resources in major crops, together with new breeding technologies, are providing a rational basis for the selection of resistant plants. While genomic resources for major plant pathogens facilitate plant breeding programs against diseases, similar resources are lacking for arthropod herbivores. A fundamental understanding of how arthropod herbivores interact with plants is crucial for development of new approaches to crop protection.

为了应对减少农药使用的可持续农业生产的全球性挑战，必须开发新的环境安全的方法，以补充目前以农药为基础的作物保护计划。快速发展的主要作物基因组/遗传资源，以及新的育种技术，为抗性植物的选择提供了合理的基础。虽然主要植物病原体的基因组资源有助于植物抗病育种计划，但节肢动物食草动物缺乏类似的资源。了解植食性节肢动物与植物之间的相互作用对于开发新的作物保护方法至关重要。
