Divergence in structure and activity of phenolic defenses in young leaves of two co-occurring Inga species.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Nov 2005

Lokvam John, Kursar Thomas A

Abstract excerpt

The leaves of tropical forest trees are most likely to suffer herbivore damage during the period of expansion. Herbivore selection on young leaves has given rise to a variety of leaf developmental strategies and age-specific chemical defense modes. We are studying correlations between leaf developmental types and chemical defenses in the Neotropical genus Inga. We have characterized defense metabolites in Inga...
