Abstract excerpt
Plant secondary chemistry is determined by both genetic and environmental factors, and large intraspecific variation in secondary chemistry has frequently been reported. The heritability of specific tree secondary metabolites is, however, mostly unknown. We tested the effect of plant genotype, environment, and ontogeny on the variation in shoot secondary chemistry of juvenile and mature European white birches...
