what are the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the plants associated with the resistance to the certain pests

Dear Student,

There are different morphological characteristics of the plants associated with the resistance to the certain pests such as hairiness, the colour of the plant, solid stem, toughness of tissue.
Biochemical resistance includes high silica content in the rice for stem borer, wears off the mandibular mouth of the insect.In barley and wheat high benzyl alcohol content acts as a resistance to green bugs.A high concentration of the phenolic compound in the cotton is resistant to several insect pests. 


​​​​​​Thank You! 

I hope this will work
