Plant Defense against Insect Herbivores (2013, background): “cannabinum also has toxic or antinutrive properties due to its complex composition of specialized bioactive natural products, such as alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics and protein inhibitors [319].”
Latitudinal variation in plant chemical defences drives latitudinal patterns of leaf herbivory (2018, background): “We chose phenolic compounds as defensive traits because they are widely recognized as herbivore feeding deterrents common to many plant taxa (Salminen and Karonen 2011, Mithöfer and Boland 2012, Moreira et al.”
Evolutionary Legacy Effects on Ecosystems: Biogeographic Origins, Plant Traits, and Implications for Management in the Era of Global Change (2016, background): “…an enormous diversity of defensive chemicals, which may be toxic, repellent, or antinutritive for herbivores of all types and include cyanogenic glycosides, glucosinolates, alkaloids, and terpenoids, as well as macromolecules, including latex or proteinase inhibitors (Mithöfer & Boland 2012).”
Alkaloids: an overview of their antibacterial, antibiotic-enhancing and antivirulence activities. (2014, background): “In plants, the inhibitory effects of alkaloids on glycosidase and trehalose metabolism deters herbivores [35], and the ability to quench singlet oxygen confers protection against this toxic photosynthetic byproduct [18].”
Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, background): “Plants chemical defences are difficult to study across such a large plant taxonomic scale because the secondary metabolites involved are extremely diverse (Mith€ofer & Boland 2012; Kant et al. 2015), but may largely explain the observed difference in palatability among plant species.”
The ecology and evolution of induced responses to herbivory and how plants perceive risk (2019, background): “…describe our current understanding of mechanisms by which plants perceive damage by herbivores, the signalling that occurs within a plant, and the chemical and morphological responses that are triggered (Howe & Jander, 2008; Mithöfer & Boland, 2012; Kant et al., 2015; Schuman & Baldwin, 2016).”
