Within-plant variation in chemical defence ofErysimum cheiranthoidesdoes not explainPlutella xylostellafeeding preference

Kunqi Wang,

Abstract: Plants invest a substantial fraction of their resources into defence against herbivores, with the highest levels of defence expected to be allocated only to the most valuable tissues. In an evolutionary recent event, plants in the genusErysimum(Brassicaceae) evolved the ability to produce novel cardenolides in addition to ancestrally conserved glucosinolates. While plants co-express both defences, tissue-specific expression for optimized defence might represent an effective cost saving strategy. Larvae of the … Show more
