The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades,
however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated …

Induced plant defenses against either pathogens or herbivore attackers are regulated by
phytohormones. These phytohormones are increasingly recognized as important mediators …

Plant modularity traits relevant to functions of on-spot persistence, space occupancy,
resprouting after disturbance, as well as resource storage, sharing, and foraging have been …

Plants defend themselves against herbivores via resistance, which reduces damage, and
tolerance, which minimizes the negative effects of damage. Theory predicts the existence of …

Abstract Background and Aims There is a growing concern about how forests will respond to
increased herbivory associated with climate change. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) limitation …

Carbon allocation determines plant growth, fitness and reproductive success. However,
climate warming and drought impacts on carbon allocation patterns in grasses are not well …

Herbivory can induce changes in plant traits that may involve both tolerance mechanisms
that compensate for biomass loss and resistance traits that reduce herbivore preference …

The effect of herbivory on plant performance is the subject of a large number of ecological
studies, and plant responses to herbivory range from reduced reproduction to …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to express different phenotypes in
response to changing environments and becomes particularly obvious when plants alter …

Chemical studies of the plant family Annonaceae have intensified in the last several
decades due to the discovery of annonaceous molecules with medicinal potential (eg …
