Evolutionary potential of root chemical defense: genetic correlations with shoot chemistry and plant growth.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Aug 2012

Parker J D, Salminen J-P, Agrawal Anurag A

Abstract excerpt

Root herbivores can affect plant fitness, and roots often contain the same secondary metabolites that act as defenses in shoots, but the ecology and evolution of root chemical defense have been little investigated. Here, we investigated genetic variance, heritability, and correlations among defensive phenolic compounds in shoot vs. root tissues of common evening primrose, Oenothera biennis. Across 20 genotypes,...
