Quinolizidine alkaloids in Ormosia arborea seeds inhibit predation but not hoarding by agoutis (Dasyprocta leporina)
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2003-05-01)
Quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) are secondary compounds found in seeds of many species of plants, possibly protecting them against pathogens and seed predators. QAs were isolated from Ormosia arborea seeds and bioassayed ...

Relationship Among Phenolic Contents, Seed Predation, and Physical Seed Traits in Mimosa bimucronata Plants
(Springer, 2009-12-01)
Phenolic contents were compared between Mimosa bimucronata seeds from infested and non-infested fruits to assess induced defense response. By measuring leg length of the bruchid beetle Acanthoscelides schrankiae, we verified ...

Intentional and unintentional selection during plant domestication: herbivore damage, plant defensive traits and nutritional quality of fruit and seed crops
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Greater susceptibility to herbivory can arise as an effect of crop domestication. One proposed explanation is that defenses decreased intentionally or unintentionally during the domestication process, but evidence for this ...
Horizontal and deep scaling of agroecology: Lessons from two organizations that defend seed sovereignty in ColombiaEscalamiento horizontal y profundo de la agroecología: Lecciones de dos organizaciones defensoras de la soberanía de semillas en Colombia
(2021-12-01)
This research aimed to analyze the relationship of the defense, conservation, and recovery of seeds with the scaling of agroecology. Through a qualitative case study design, information was collected from two local ...
Interaction Effect between Herbivory and Plant Fertilization on Extrafloral Nectar Production and on Seed Traits: An Experimental Study with Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae)
(2016-08-01)
It is known that the release of volatile chemicals by many plants can attract the natural enemies of herbivorous insects. Such indirect interactions are likely when plants produce nectar from their extrafloral nectaries, ...
