Scope note: Rasgos desarrollados en las plantas que las ayudan a evitar su uso como plantas huéspedes o fuentes de alimento, o para tolerar la HERBIVORÍA y recuperarse de ella. Los rasgos pueden ser mecánicos o químicos, como los que afectan a la accesibilidad (espinas, cubiertas gruesas, etc.), la atracción para los herbívoros (olor, color, textura, etc.), la digestibilidad (toxinas, ligninas, etc.) y el movimiento en respuesta al contacto.

Scope note: Traits developed in plants that help them avoid being used as host plants or food sources; or to tolerate and recover from HERBIVORY. Traits may be mechanical or chemical such as those that affect accessibility (thorns, thick husks, etc.), attractiveness to herbivore (odor, color, texture, etc.), digestibility (toxins, lignins, etc.), and movement in response to touch.
