Concentrations of flavonoids in leaves and roots of Triadica sebifera trees in control and herbivory treatments. Bars indicate means + 1 standard error. Bars with the same letters were not significantly different in post hoc tests.

#TriadicaSebifera is widely distributed across China from tropical to temperate regions where soils and herbivore communities vary significantly, Li Xiao et al. explored #InteractiveEffects of #Soils, #LocalEnvironmentalConditions and #Herbivores on #SecondaryChemicals in it.
