Plant defense strategies against attack by multiple herbivores

We provide a framework for plant defense to multiherbivore attack by defining the repertoire of plastic defense strategies that may allow plants to optimize ...

Differentiated plant defense strategies: Herbivore community ...

In many situations, plants use antinutritional compounds, such as tannins, to defend themselves against herbivores (Barbehenn & Constabel, 2011) ...

Mechanisms of plant defense against insect herbivores - PMC

Plants respond to herbivory through various morphological, biochemicals, and molecular mechanisms to counter/offset the effects of herbivore attack.

Plant defence strategies to multi-herbivore attack - Research@WUR

Additionally, I show that B. nigra plants channel their defence responses stronger towards a feeding-guild specific response when under multi- ...

Plant Resistance against Herbivory | Learn Science at Scitable

When combined with chemical defenses, trichomes can act as glands that secrete sticky resins or irritating chemicals to reduce grazing by large herbivores. For ...

Plant defense strategies against attack by multiple herbivores

Studies on dual herbivore attack identified that defense against one attacker may cause energetic and physiological constraints to deal with a ...

Plant defense strategies against attack by multiple herbivores

... Plants have evolved an inducible defense system to cope with the uncertainty of herbivore attacks. This inducible defense enables plants to save resources ...

Plant Defense against Herbivorous Pests: Exploiting Resistance and ...

Many plants deposit granular minerals in tissues that deter insect attack and feeding. A well-known example is silica accumulation in grasses ( ...

Differentiated plant defense strategies: Herbivore community ...

Plants may alter defense expression dependent on the specific herbivore present. Many studies focus on the optimization of these defenses ...

30.24: Plant Defense Mechanisms - Against Herbivores

Many metabolites are toxic and can even be lethal to animals that ingest them. Some metabolites are alkaloids, which discourage predators with ...

Defense Suppression through Interplant Communication Depends ...

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can deter herbivores, recruit natural enemies, and warn other plants of possible herbivore attack. Following HIPV ...

Plant defense against herbivory - Wikipedia

These chemical defenses can act as repellents or toxins to herbivores or reduce plant digestibility. Another defensive strategy of plants is changing their ...

Plant Defenses - Learn Genetics (Utah)

Physical defenses are a first line of protection for many plants. These defenses make it difficult for herbivores to eat plants.

Plant defence against herbivory and insect adaptations | Oxford

Inceptins and caeliferins in the oral secretions of many insects also activate plant defensive pathways against insect pests (Schmelz et al.

Defense strategies and associated phytohormonal regulation in ...

Plants have developed sophisticated defense responses to counter insect attacks, adapting to different herbivore feeding guilds. These defense responses are ...

Herbivore exploits orally secreted bacteria to suppress plant defenses

As plants have evolved defense strategies in response to biotic attack, some herbivores produce effector molecules that suppress induced defenses of plants (5).

I learned from 'Green Planet' that many plants secrete 'defensive ...

Inducible defenses, on the other hand, are maintained at low levels until something triggers the plant to increase them (usually herbivory).

Mechanisms and ecological consequences of plant defence ...

To preserve their fitness when attacked by herbivores, plants can employ complex strategies that include reallocation of resources and the production of ...

Plant defence to sequential attack is adapted to prevalent herbivores

Plants have developed defences against herbivores, but with multiple threats at different times, those defences may be compromised. This experiment finds that ...

Chemical Plant Defense Against Herbivores | IntechOpen

When a plant faces multiple herbivore attack, induced defense is regulated through interconnection of the JA, SA, and ET signal transduction ...
