Abstract
Sorghum bicolor L. is fifth most important cereal crop in the world followed by wheat, rice, maize, and barley. Morphological traits comprises the building of a physical barrier are serves as first line of defense in plant which negatively influenced affects the insect growth, development, existence and attack. On the other hand host-plant resistance mechanism is also one of the best approaches to reduce the attack of insects in plants which stimulates variety of antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidant, proteinase inhibitions, alpha amylase inhibitors secondary metabolites. These biochemical constituents directly involved in detoxification mechanism of elevated level of ROS and provide protection against insect damage.
