Understanding Plant Defense Strategies: Interplay Between Traditional Botanical Tools and Modern Analytical Approaches Kariyat, Rupesh R [1]. Understanding plant defense strategies: Interplay between traditional botanical tools and modern analytical approaches. The arms race between plants and their herbivores have resulted in the evolution of a wide range of interesting and intricate plant defense and herbivore counter defense strategies. Years of botanical research has allowed us to observe, document and thereby understand these interactions in various ecosystems. However, recent advancements in analytical chemistry, genomics and metabolomics have further opened the possibility of combining classic botanical tools with molecular advancements to gain a better handling on these areas of research- also allowing us to progress further into other hot topics of applied botany research. These include, but are not limited to factors affecting, plant-plant, plant-insect and plant-pathogen interactions, primary and secondary metabolites mediated signalling, and the microbiome- in both natural and agricultural systems. This symposium envisions bringing together leading experts in these areas of research and thereby providing a platform for evaluating current challenges and future prospects in plant defense research.
