Abstract excerpt
Because traits conferring resistance on herbivores can reduce fitness-associated traits, trade-offs may occur between tolerance and resistance responses. We examined these trade-offs in genotypes of Nicotiana attenuata that were transformed to silence trypsin proteinase inhibitor (TPI) production (AS-Natpi), an antiherbivore defense associated with (14%) reductions in seed production, and the jasmonate signal...
