Plant–herbivore interactions mediated by plant toxicity

Theoretical Population Biology, 2008
We explore the impact of plant toxicity on the dynamics of a plant-herbivore interaction, such as that of a mammalian browser and its plant forage species, by studying a mathematical model that includes a toxin-determined functional response. In this functional response, the traditional Holling Type 2 response is modified to include the negative effect

Cadmium Toxicity in Plants

2012
Cadmium is an important pollutant in the environment, toxic to most organisms and a potential threat to human health: Crops and other plants take up Cd from the soil or water and may enrich it in their roots and shoots. In this review, we summarize natural and anthropogenic reasons for the occurrence of Cd toxicity, and evaluate the observed phytotoxic

Plants Causing Toxic Myopathies

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice
Boxelder and sycamore maple contain hypoglycin A (HGA), the toxic metabolite of which, MCPA-CoA, inhibits fatty acid β-oxidation, causing seasonal pasture myopathy (SPM) or atypical myopathy (AM), respectively. White snakeroot and rayless goldenrod contain multiple benzofuran ketones (BFKs).

Common Plants and Their Toxicity

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1987
This article contains information about plants that have a potential for producing acute toxicity. The two largest sections are in tabular format, that is, a list of plants reported to have a potential for producing acute toxicity and a table of plants that have been used as food suggesting that they have little toxic potential. For each plant cited in

Plant Toxicants

Poisonous plants are the third biggest recognized class of poisons worldwide. There is a lengthy history of poisonous plants. The poisonous chemicals that plants possess are what give them their toxic characteristics. Toxic compounds found in plants belong to the group of substances called secondary metabolites, which generally do not play a ...
