许多植物分子以有益于健康的方式与哺乳动物生理学的关键调节因子相互作用并进行调节，但为什么呢？我们认为异养生物（动物和真菌）能够感知植物和其他自养生物在应对压力时合成的化学信号。这些线索提供了关于环境条件恶化的预警，使异养生物在条件仍然有利的情况下为逆境做好准备。
Many plant molecules interact with and modulate key regulators of mammalian physiology in ways that are beneficial to health, but why? We propose that heterotrophs (animals and fungi) are able to sense chemical cues synthesized by plants and other autotrophs in response to stress. These cues provide advance warning about deteriorating environmental conditions, allowing the heterotrophs to prepare for adversity while conditions are still favorable.
