Patterns of Plumericin Concentration in Leaves of <i>Himatanthus tarapotensis</i> (Apocynaceae) and Its Interactions with Herbivory in the Peruvian Amazon

Patterns of Plumericin Concentration in Leaves of <i>Himatanthus tarapotensis</i> (Apocynaceae) and Its Interactions with Herbivory in the Peruvian Amazon

We explored the concentration patterns of the bioactive metabolite plumericin produced by <i>Himatanthus tarapotensis</i> (Apocynaceae) under different edaphic conditions and variations in rainfall intensity, as well as its potential role in the chemical defense against insect herbivores...
