Abstract:Invasive weeds are rapidly adapting to evolutionary changes, brought about by exposure to the plethora of plant-antagonist’s interactions, which eventually leave an effect on the biological control of the weed. These interactions create an array of biochemical responses in the plant, which induce a range of defensive mechanisms to reduce the threat of injury. The present investigation reports the role of plant secondary metabolites in plant defense that may involve deterrence of antifeedant activity associated… Show more
