In defence of flowers: The ecology and biochemistry of a chemical defence, cyanogenesis, in Proteaceae
As sessile organisms, plants produce a remarkable diversity of chemicals to defend their tissues against herbivory. The large body of research into plant defences has primarily focused on plant-herbivore interactions and foliar defences, whereas floral chemical defences have received little …
