Abstract
Much of the wide acceptance and popularity of Reginald Painter's classification of the mechanisms of plant resistance to insect pests stems not only from its simplicity and apparent generality, but also because it accurately describes insect and plant responses. Based on some of his own previous work (Painter 1936, 1941), Painter in his classical book “Insect Resistance in Crop Plants” (1951) proposed that plant resistance, as observed in the field, could be explained by three fundamental mechanisms which he named: (a) nonpreference, (b) antibiosis, and (c) tolerance. Painter and many subsequent workers have stressed the fact that these mechanisms are most frequently interrelated although they may also operate independently.
