PATTERNS OF PLUMERICIN CONCENTRATION IN LEAVES OF HIMATANTHUS TARAPOTENSIS (APOCYNACEAE) AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH HERBIVORY IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON

Patterns of Plumericin Concentration in Leaves of Himatanthus tarapotensis (Apocynaceae) and Its Interactions with Herbivory in the Peruvian Amazon

We explored the concentration patterns of the bioactive metabolite plumericin produced by Himatanthus tarapotensis (Apocynaceae) under different edaphic conditions and variations in rainfall intensity, as well as its potential role in the chemical defense against insect herbivores.Values of plumericin concentration from leaves were obtained by High
