Abstract
⺠Phytochemicals influence mating and the production of insect eggs. ⺠The leaf boundary layer may affect egg deposition behaviour and embryo development. ⺠Insect egg deposition changes photosynthetic activity and secondary metabolism. ⺠Hypersensitive responses, formation of neoplasms, ovicidal substances harm the eggs. ⺠Changes of plant odour/leaf surface chemistry attract/arrest egg parasitoids.
