Abstract
⺠Non-protein amino acids have been implicated in plant defense against insect pests. ⺠Direct toxic effects occur through interference with animal amino acid metabolism.⺠Nitrogen is stored in a form that is metabolically inaccessible to herbivores. ⺠Some specialist herbivores have specific detoxification mechanisms. ⺠Sequenced plant genomes provide opportunities for discovering biosynthetic enzymes.
