The 17 pages that link to Plant defense, each with the reason it gives.
TerpeneRelated: Many terpenes deter herbivores, inhibit microbes, or signal damage.
TanninNarrower topic: Tannins can deter herbivores and inhibit some microbes through interactions with proteins and enzymes.
AlkaloidRelated: Many plant alkaloids deter herbivores through bitterness, toxicity, or disruption of physiology.
Plant morphologyRelated: Spines, hairs, and tough tissues show how form can deter threats.
PolyphenolRelated: Polyphenols can deter feeding or inhibit microbes as part of plant chemical defense.
Calcium oxalateNarrower topic: Calcium oxalate crystals can deter herbivores by irritating or injuring tissues.
Cyanogenic glycosidesNarrower topic: Cyanogenesis deters tissue-feeding organisms through the release of a toxic compound.
Mustard oilNarrower topic: Glucosinolate breakdown products deter attackers after plant tissues are damaged.
AmygdalinNarrower topic: Amygdalin stores cyanide potential that can deter organisms eating damaged tissue.
Gall waspRelated: Gall induction succeeds despite plant defenses, and can alter the plant's response.
AllicinNarrower topic: Allicin formation is a damage-triggered chemical defense in garlic.
AgarwoodNarrower topic: Agarwood resin develops as part of a tree’s response to injury and microbial attack.
PineneRelated: Pinene in resin can deter attackers and participate in conifer defense.
TherizinosaurusRelated: Plant defenses shaped the feeding challenges faced by large herbivores in its ecosystem.
CecidomyiidaeRelated: Gall midges must contend with host defenses while feeding within plant tissues.
Leaf beetleRelated: Leaf beetles encounter toxins, barriers, and other defenses in their host plants.
