Optimal plant defense should incorporate any mechanisms that influence the feeding behavior of potential pests. From a diverse collection of examples suggesting that the defense of a plant may be improved in the company of specific neighbors, we discuss a framework of operational mechanisms that begin to clarify some aspects of the recognized influence

Belowground Herbivory and Plant Defenses
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2009Belowground-feeding herbivores may be very destructive to plants. Roots are known to produce various defense compounds to protect themselves against these herbivores, both with direct and indirect—inducible—defense compounds. Recent literature reviews reveal no overall pattern for root-shoot defense allocation.

Macroevolution of plant defense strategies
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2007Theories of plant defense expression are typically based on the concepts of tradeoffs among traits and of phylogenetic conservatism within clades. Here, I review recent developments in phylogenetic approaches to understanding the evolution of plant defense strategies and plant-herbivore coevolutionary interactions.

Induced Chemical Defense in Plants
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 1998Surprising parallels exist between the chemical defense mechanisms of plants and animals. The biosynthesis of defensive substances in plants can be induced by microbial or herbivoral attack. Recent results demonstrate that the chemical defense of plants is mediated by lipid-based signaling systems.
