Integrated analysis of solvent-extractable secondary metabolites reveals multi-layered resistance to Helicoverpa armigera in chickpea crop wild relatives

The cultivated chickpea gene pool possesses limited resistance to the pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera , necessitating the discovery of novel defense-associated metabolites and resistance sources for sustainable pest management. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) represent a rich but unde...
