ABSTRACT

1. Herbivore-induced defences in plants are considered a strategy to manage multi ple interactions while saving resources. The optimal defence theory (ODT) is one of the most prominent theoretical frameworks to explain the defence allocation patterns within plants. It was recently shown that the ODT generally applies to constitutive glucosinolate (GSL) allocation in shoot and root organs. Previous studies showed that both root and shoot herbivore feeding may alter defence al location over plant organs. For shoots, the effect depends on where the herbi vores feed. It is as yet unknown whether similar principles apply to root-herbivore-induced GSLs. 2. To analyse the effects of root localized herbivore feeding on GSL allocation, we
