Herbivores that feed readily on chemically defended plants may have evolved detoxification strategies, including the use of microbial (gut) symbionts. We aim to identify the major detoxification routes for two types of insect herbivores, aboveground phloem feeders and root-feeding herbivores, feeding readily on Brassicaceae chemically defended with glucosinolates. Using multiple techniques ranging from (meta) genomics to behavioral assays, we will elucidate detoxification mechanisms and assess their effects on herbivore performance and on higher trophic level organisms associated with the herbivore.

容易以化学防御植物为食的食草动物可能已经进化出解毒策略，包括使用微生物（肠道）共生体。我们的目标是确定两种类型的昆虫食草动物，地上韧皮部饲养和根喂养食草动物，喂养容易上的化学防御与芥子油苷的主要解毒途径。使用多种技术，从（Meta）基因组学行为测定，我们将阐明解毒机制，并评估其对草食动物的性能和更高的营养级生物与草食动物的影响。
