Facing herbivory as you grow up: the ontogeny of resistance in plants. (2005, background): “For example, in tomato [26] and tobacco [28, 44 ], the ability to induce defenses is lost when the reproductive stage is reached.”
Nitrogen fertilization rate affects feeding, larval performance, and oviposition preference of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, on cotton (2008, background): “This may reflect the generally greater fitness value of younger leaves, and that nutrients of older leaves translocate nutrients to young leaves as leaves age (Ohnmeiss & Baldwin, 2000).”
Optimal defence theory and flower petal colour predict variation in the secondary chemistry of wild radish (2004, background): “For plants in the diverse families Solanaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae and Boraginaceae, floral parts all had greater levels of secondary compounds than did leaves (Nitao & Zangerl 1987; Van Dam et al. 1996; Zangerl & Rutledge 1996; Ohnmeiss & Baldwin 2000).”
Costs and benefits of induced resistance to herbivores and pathogens in plants (2010, background): “Changes in resistance in particular tissues can result from local up-regulation of defences or by transport of defences made in other parts of the plant to damaged tissues [64, 65].”
