The evolution of antiherbivore defenses and their contribution to species coexistence in the tropical tree genus Inga
Plants and their herbivores constitute more than half of the organisms in tropical forests. Therefore, a better understanding of the evolution of plant defenses against their herbivores may be central for our understanding ...
Metabolismo de Flavonoides por Spodoptera frugiperda e Anticarsia gemmatalis
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Química - PPGQCâmpus São Carlos, 2019-08-19)
The soybean plant (Glycine max L. Merryl) produces a range of flavonoids as secondary metabolites, known to cause damage to herbivorous insects. However, Spodoptera frugiperda and Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: ...
Plant Flavonoid Content Modified by Domestication
(2017)
Plant domestication can modify and weaken defensive chemical traits, reducing chemical defenses in plants and consequently their resistance against pests. We characterized and quantified the major defensive flavonols and ...
Limonoids from Toona ciliata and speculations on their chemosystematic and ecological significance
(Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2018)
Domestication in murtilla (Ugni molinae) reduced defensive flavonol levels but increase resistance against a native herbivorous insect
(2015)
Plant domestication can have negative consequences for defensive traits against herbivores, potentially reducing the levels of chemical defenses in plants and consequently their resistance against herbivores. We characterized ...
