Fitness costs of chemical defense in Plantago lanceolata L.: effects of nutrient and competition stress.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2003

Marak Hamida B, Biere Arjen, Van Damme Jos M M

Abstract excerpt

Fitness costs of defense are often invoked to explain the maintenance of genetic variation in levels of chemical defense compounds in natural plant populations. We investigated fitness costs of iridoid glycosides (IGs), terpenoid compounds that strongly deter generalist insect herbivores, in ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) using lines that had been artificially selected for high and low leaf IG...
