A new method for measuring relative growth rate can uncover the costs of defensive compounds in Arabidopsis thaliana.
*Most plants suffer some degree of herbivore attack and many actively defend themselves against such an event. However, while such defence is generally assumed to be costly, it has sometimes proved difficult to demonstrate the costs of defensive compounds. *Here, we present a method for analysing gr...
