Heavy metal (hyper)accumulation in leaves of Arabidopsis halleri is accompanied by a reduced performance of herbivores and shifts in leaf glucosinolate and element concentrations
The presence of heavy metals may shape plant-herbivore interactions.
•
We investigated the effects of soil Cd and Zn on herbivore and plant responses.
•
Chewing and sucking herbivores are negatively impacted by metal (hyper)accumulation.
•
Leaf glucosinolates and elements respond differently to soil-treatment and herbivory.
•
Most glucosinolates and elements are higher in young leaves in line with the optimal defense theory.
