Fig. 1From: Phenotypic plasticity plays an essential role in the confrontation between plants and herbivorous insectsSimple model of insect and plant interaction. Herbivorous insects use two adaptive strategies to assist them feed safely on plants, self-regulation (green box) and external assistance (blue box). Plants formated different strategies to cope with ingesting from insect depending on the intensity. Among them, strategies 2 and 3, phenotypic plasticity plays a role in defenseBack to article page
