 Ecology: Benefits And Costs Of Induced Plant Defense For Lepidium Virginicum - BRASSICACEAE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Induced plant responses to herbivory were correlated with an increase in the number of trichomes per leaf and an increase in the diversity of the putatively defensive chemical compounds, glucosinolates, present in the foliage of damaged p lants compared to undamaged controls.
In field experiments, induction reduced natural colonization of plants by aphids compared to both unmanipulated controls and controls that were damaged (but not induced) by clipping a leaf from the plant using a pair of scissors.
Perennial plants are poor model systems for answering questions about the evolution and consequences of induced responses from the plant's point of view because measuring lifetime plant fitness is difficult.

 Jeff Chorba Landscape Design - Designing for Deer Resistance
Through my years of designing and planting landscapes in northeast Pennsylvania, I have observed which plants tend to be deer resistant through all seasons.
A plant's deer resistance can be determined by how often or severely plants are eaten during moderately harsh winters when the deer's food supply decreases.
Usually plants that are soft to the touch and high in water content are the first to succumb to damage.
