The 25 pages that link to Plant defense against herbivory, each with the reason it gives.

• HerbivoryRelated: These defenses influence which plants herbivores can eat and how much damage feeding causes.

• HerbivoreRelated: Plant defenses shape which tissues herbivores can eat and how they feed.

• Host plantRelated: Defenses can prevent insects from feeding or developing on otherwise suitable hosts.

• BarkRelated: Bark’s toughness and defensive chemicals can deter insects and other herbivores.

• AphidNarrower topic: Aphid feeding can trigger plant defenses that alter feeding success and predator attraction.

• LamiaceaeRelated: Aromatic and bitter compounds can deter herbivores from feeding on mint-family plants.

• MonoterpeneRelated: Some monoterpenes deter herbivores or help recruit their natural enemies.

• Plant resinNarrower topic: Resin’s deterrent effects fit within the broader defenses plants use against herbivores.

• Plant secondary metaboliteRelated: Many specialized compounds deter herbivores, impair digestion, or poison attackers.

• Defense mechanismBroader topic: Plants face attackers without being able to flee.

• Secondary metaboliteRelated: Many plant secondary metabolites deter feeding or harm herbivores.

• SolanaceaeNarrower topic: Many family-specific toxins and irritants function as defenses against herbivores.

• PhytochemistryRelated: Toxins and deterrents are among the best-studied ecological roles of phytochemicals.

• Plant-animal interactionRelated: Plant traits can deter consumers or recruit predators that attack them.

• Phenylpropanoid pathwayRelated: Pathway products such as tannins and other phenolics can deter feeding or impair digestion.

• PhytophagyRelated: These defenses determine which tissues phytophagous animals can exploit.

• Plant-herbivore interactionsRelated: These defenses shape which plant tissues herbivores can eat and at what cost.

• Plant toxicityNarrower topic: Many toxic compounds evolved as defenses against herbivores.

• PhenylpropanoidRelated: Phenylpropanoid products can deter feeding or make plant tissues less digestible.

• SimosuchusRelated: Its leaf-shaped teeth have been discussed in relation to processing vegetation and the defenses plants evolved.

• VachelliaRelated: Vachellia combines thorns, tannins, and—in some species—ant partners to limit browsing.

• DieffenbachiaNarrower topic: Irritating crystals and chemical compounds make Dieffenbachia tissues costly for many herbivores to consume.

• JasmonateNarrower topic: Jasmonate coordinates many of the chemical defenses deployed after herbivore attack.

• PhylliidaeRelated: Leaf insects imitate the plants whose foliage they consume, placing camouflage beside plant defenses.

• Protocarnivorous plantCompared with: Trapping animals can resemble defense, but protocarnivory captures prey rather than merely deterring herbivores.
