Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “PAs also impart astringency to fresh fruits, fruit juices, and wine, oxidize to form brown pigments in seeds and other tissues, and may act as feeding deterrents in reproductive tissues and developing fruits (Wrangham et al., 1998; Forkner et al., 2004).”
Timing is everything? Phenological synchrony and population variability in leaf‐chewing herbivores of Quercus (2008, background): “Previous work in this system indicates that understory surveys are representative of canopy communities as well, as larval densities are lower in the canopy and canopy communities are a subset of understory species ( Forkner et al. , 2004 ; R. J. Marquis, unpubl. data).”
Impacts of exotic invertebrates on New Zealand's indigenous species and ecosystems (2010, result): “This is borne out by the contrasting palatability of continental and insular Nothofagus found in the bioassays, but is contrary to the ‘apparency hypothesis’ (Feeny 1975, 1976; Forkner et al. 2004) which has previously been criticised (Edwards et al. 1986).”
From Genes to Ecosystems: The Genetic Basis of Condensed Tannins and Their Role in Nutrient Regulation in a Populus Model System (2008, background): “For example, in the genus Leucaena grown in a common garden environment, Dalzell and Shelton (2002) found an approximately 145-fold difference in concentration among individual genotypes with the production of CT ranging from 0 to 336 g CT/kg litter, demonstrating high intraspecific variation.”
Drought effects on damage by forest insects and pathogens: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Secondary metabolites (e.g. tannins – Forkner et al., 2004), involved in tree resistance, are often in higher concentrations in foliage of water-stressed trees, which were shown to affect larval performance of Lepidoptera such as Operophtera brumata on Quercus robur (Buse & Good, 1996).”
Significance of Flavonoids in Plant Resistance and Enhancement of Their Biosynthesis (2005, background): “However, flavonoids do not simply act as broad spectrum defensive mechanisms (Forkner et al., 2004; Nykänen and Koricheva, 2004).”
