Effects of Herbivory and Light Conditions on Induced Defense in Quercus crispula

Abstract: Understanding the induced resistance to herbivory in plants is important in elucidating plant life-history traits. Resistance to herbivory takes two basic forms: defense and tolerance. Induced defense plays an important role in the ecology and evolution of plant-herbivore interactions. it has become increasingly clear that induced defenses to herbivory are complex traits involving the interaction of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of herbivory and the availability of… Show more

“…According to the CN balance hypothesis (Bryant et al 1983;Coley et al 1985), changes in the carbon/nutrient (such as nitrogen) ratio correlate with levels of plant defensive chemicals, such as phenolic metabolites. Some studies verified this hypothesis by documenting the indirect relationship between light and herbivores through the intermediary of phenolic plant chemicals (Larsson et al 1986;Lindroth et al 1993;Dudt and Shure 1994;Agrell et al 2000;Nabeshima et al 2001).…”

“…Total phenolics demands decreased with maturity and senescence. Tannin concentrations in plants vary in response to changes in environmental conditions such as nutrients, light, temperature, CO 2 , water availability and ozone (Chaves and Escuder 1999;Lindroth et al 2001;Nabeshima et al 2001;Koike et al 2006). The total phenolics content of young and senescent branchlets at sites 1 to 3 was significantly lower than that of young and senescent branchlets at sites 4 to 6, respectively, reflecting the changes in environmental conditions (i.e.…”

“…The concentration of TP was quantified with a spectrophotometer (U-1000, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan), using tannic acid as a standard (Waterman and Mole 1994). Phenolic compounds such as CT and TP in leaves have been commonly used as indicators of chemical defence against herbivores (e.g., Feeny 1970;Forkner and Hunter 2000;Mutikainen et al 2000;Nabeshima et al 2001;Matsuki et al 2004;Murakami et al 2005;Koike et al 2006).…”

“…Induced response varies with environmental factors such as the availability of nutrients, light, and water (e.g., Hunter and Schultz 1995;Mutikainen et al 2000;Nabeshima et al 2001; Baraza et al 2004). The pattern of carbon allocation to the induced response depends on not only the external availability of resources but also the internal characteristics of the plant (Nykänen and Koricheva 2004).…”
