植物面临着一系列令人生畏的生物，这些生物吃它们，钻它们的洞，几乎把植物的每一部分都用作食物或庇护所。然而，植物在受到攻击时并非毫无防御能力。虽然它们无法逃离攻击者，但它们可以产生防御，如刺，并可以积极改变其化学和生理反应以应对伤害。例如，马铃薯甲虫吃下的马铃薯嫩叶会产生抑制甲虫消化酶的化学物质。自20世纪80年代以来，对这些诱导反应的研究一直在进行，这种对快速发展的领域的全面评估和综合提供了学科评论，并突出了可能富有成效的研究领域。这一概述应呼吁在生态学，进化生物学，植物生物学，昆虫学和农业的各种理论和应用研究人员。
Plants face a daunting array of creatures which eat them, bore into them and use virtually every plant part for food or shelter. However, plants are far from defenceless under attack. Although they cannot flee their attackers, they can produce defences, such as thorns, and can actively alter their chemistry and physiology in response to damage. For instance, young potato leaves being eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals which inhibit beetle digestive enzymes. Research on these induced responses to herbivory has proceeded since the 1980s, and this comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of a rapidly-developing field provides state-of-the-discipline reviews, and highlights areas of research which might be productive. This overview should appeal to a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology and agriculture.
