Abstract The induced herbivore-resistant genes are classified into three categories, which are defense genes, defense compound synthesis genes and signal pathway genes. The herbivore-resistant genes are regulated by plant hormones such as jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, aspirin, abscisic acid and ethylene, and other signals. The traffic of these signals in plant consists of a complex signal transduction network of plant defense against herbivores. The study of induced herbivore-resistant genes will provide new ways to control insect pests.
