Abstract:
The allocation of plant internal resources to growth processes (primary metabolism) and to defensive compounds (secondary metabolism) is determined by plant internal competition for common substrates and energy. In order to contribute to the discussion about environmental impacts on this trade-off between demands for growth and defence, we extended a complex plant growth model to simulate the formation of defensive compounds on the whole plant level, depending on the dynamics of the environmenta...     »
