• Regulation and accumulation of secondary metabolites in plant-fungus symbiotic system (2007, background): “Environmental factors including biotic and abiotic stimuli, carbon-nutrition balance, genotype and ontogenesis usually control and regulate the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants (Kliebenstein, 2004; Laitinen et al., 2005; Lerdau, 2002; Mary Ann Lila, 2006).”
• The Evolution of Function in Plant Secondary Metabolites (2003, background): “…the carbon-nutrient balance hypothesis, has excited much heat and a little light, but its intellectual status is more akin to the sort of null model that all good optimality models must posit simultaneously (Beatty 1980) than to a general challenge to optimality thinking (Lerdau and Coley 2002).”
• FOLIAR NUTRITION, SITE QUALITY, AND TEMPERATURE INFLUENCE FOLIAR CHEMISTRY OF TALLOWWOOD (EUCALYPTUS MICROCORYS) (2004, background): “The carbon–nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH; Bryant et al. 1983) proposes that both low nutrient availability and abundant sunlight cause the C:N ratio in plant tissue to increase, thereby increasing the production of carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs).”
