Plant Defense Against Herbivore Attacks
摘要
Phytochemical defenses against herbivore attacksHerbivore attacks are either constitutive or induced. Constitutive defense secondary metabolites (SMs) are synthesized before attack and are concentrated into specialized cell or tissue compartmentsTissue compartments such as xylemic resin canalsResin canals used for terpene storageTerpene storage in coniferousConiferous trees or cell wallCell wall accumulating polyphenolsPolyphenols in cereals.
