Host–Parasite Interactions and Trade-offs Between Growth- and Defence-Related Metabolism Under Changing Environments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 220))

Abstract

The allocation of resources between growth-related processes and defence-related biosynthesis of mainly secondary compounds in plants is discussed first on a descriptional level and, second, on the basis of possible mechanisms of trade-off. An overview is given on the manifold impacts of environmental conditions i.e. temperature, atmospheric CO2 and ozone, soil nitrogen, on host–parasite interactions, on secondary metabolism and on trade-offs between growth and defence. In this context, the often made simplified equation of secondary metabolism with plant defence is critically reviewed taking into account the individual host–parasite interactions as well as the structural and functional diversity of defence-related metabolites.
