Changes in Tea Plant Secondary Metabolite Profiles as a Function of Leafhopper Density and Damage
29 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Insect herbivores have dramatic effects on the chemical composition of plants. Many of these induced metabolites contribute to the quality (e.g. flavor, human health benefits) of specialty crops such as the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). Induced chemical changes are often studied by comparing plants damaged and undamaged by herbivores. However, when herbivory is quantitative, the relationship between herbivore...
