“…Nonetheless, differential allocation apparently depends on plant family, species, and genotype (Collantes et al, 1999;Agerbirk et al, 2003;Hol et al, 2004), age of plant (Hara et al, 2000;Frolich et al, 2006), and ontogenetic stage of the tissues (Ohnmeiss and Baldwin, 2000;Walls et al, 2005). Moreover, variability between root and shoot defensive chemical concentration can be explained by abiotic factors such as atmospheric CO 2 , N 2 , light, and site of origin (Wainhouse et al, 1998;Mattson et al, 2005).…”
