Costs of constitutive and herbivore‐induced chemical defences in pine trees emerge only under low nutrient availability (2011, background): “A few studies found that the production of induced defences was associated with reduced growth rates (Björkman et al. 1998; Heijari et al. 2005; Gould et al. 2008; Sampedro, Moreira & Zas 2011), but failed to elucidate whether this association was genetically determined, and could thus have…”

Defensive responses of Pinus pinaster seedlings to exogenous application of methyl jasmonate: concentration effect and systemic response. (2009, background): “In conifers, some studies have demonstrated hat exogenous application of MeJa drastically reduced seedling rowth rate and photosynthetic activity (Heijari et al., 2005; Gould t al., 2008).”
Endophytes vs tree pathogens and pests: can they be used as biological control agents to improve tree health? (2019, background): “Induction of jasmonic acid biosynthesis enhances localized resistance to biotic agents such as Hylobius abietis (large pine weevil) (Heijari et al. 2005), Ceratocystis polonica (bluestain fungus) (Krokene et al. 2008; Zeneli et al. 2006) and Pythium ultimum (white root rot) (Kozlowski et al. 1999).”
