Coordinated resource allocation to plant growth–defense tradeoffs

Abstract: Plant resource allocation patterns often reveal tradeoffs that favor growth (G) over defense (D), or vice versa. Ecologists most often explain G-D tradeoffs through principles of economic optimality, in which negative trait correlations are attributed to the reconciliation of fitness costs. Recently, researchers in molecular biology have developed 'big data' resources including multiomic (e.g. transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic) studies that describe the cellular processes controlling gene expression in… Show more

“…Our goal in laying out the above hypothesized mechanism for the generation of novel compounds and chemical profiles is to integrate the patterns we observed in our study of Inga metabolomes, with the growing body of literature on the underlying genetic and biochemical mechanisms for the evolution of plant secondary metabolism (20,50,72,73).…”

“…However, although dynamic coupling between the plant metabolome and leaf traits has been found (Gargallo-Garriga et al, 2015;Monson et al, 2021;Rivas-Ubach et al, 2012), it does not follow that such plasticity in the metabolome is always evident in classical functional traits, for two reasons. First, while specialised metabolites are relatively rich in carbon or nitrogen (Züst & Agrawal, 2017), the number of carbon and nitrogen atoms allocated to such metabolites is several orders of magnitude lower than that allocated to morphological structures.…”
