Plants employ diverse anti-herbivore defenses, forming syndromes of multiple traits. These include direct defenses like toxic compounds and trichomes, and indirect defenses like volatile organic compounds that can attract predators of herbivores. Syndromes provide complementary defenses against various herbivores through trade-offs among plant traits such as nutrient content, chemical, and physical defenses.
