Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original scientific articles pertaining to the mode of action of plant protection agents such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents, biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones, and plant resistance agents. Manuscripts may include a biochemical, physiological, or molecular study for an understanding of comparative toxicology or selective toxicity of both target and nontarget organisms. Particular interest will be given to studies on the molecular biology of pest control, toxicology, and pesticide resistance.

Research Areas Emphasized Include the Biochemistry and Physiology of:

• Comparative toxicity

• Mode of action

• Pathophysiology

• Plant growth regulators

• Resistance

• Other effects of pesticides on both parasites and hosts
