Performance of specialist and generalist herbivores feeding on cabbage cultivars is not explained by glucosinolate profiles (2008, background): “Some specialist herbivores even sequester plant defence compounds for their own defence (Schoonhoven et al., 2005; Després et al., 2007) and may be highly tolerant to these compounds (Müller & Sieling, 2006).”
The ecology and evolution of induced responses to herbivory and how plants perceive risk (2019, background): “For example, insects metabolise secondary chemicals by producing detoxification enzymes, particularly cytochrome P450 s, when they encounter specific plant compounds (Despres et al., 2007; Li et al., 2007).”
An overview of the main pathways of metabolic resistance in insects (2016, background): “…as protection against naturally occurring plant toxins (allelochemicals) such as alkaloids, terpenes and phenols, in order to overcome the potential toxicity of the plants they feed on (Gatehouse, 2002; Despres et al., 2007; War et al., 2012; Heidel-Fischer and Vogel, 2015; Rane et al., 2016).”
