Abstract

This review discusses the biochemical action and ecological significance of phototoxic phytochemicals. Mechanistic details of photosensitization as well as cellular and molecular targets of plant-derived phototoxins in model biological systems (microbial and in vitro) and in herbivorous insects are described. Findings from these studies suggest the potential importance of phototoxic plant metabolites in plant-insect interactions. Aspects of phototoxin distribution and significance in diverse ecosystems are considered, and areas for future research are suggested.

摘要

本文讨论了光毒性植物化学物质的生化作用和生态意义。描述了模型生物系统（微生物和体外）和草食性昆虫中，光敏化的机制细节以及植物源性光毒素的细胞和分子靶标。这些研究的结果表明，光毒性植物代谢物在植物-昆虫相互作用中具有重要意义。本文还考虑了光毒素在不同生态系统中的分布和意义，并提出了未来的研究方向。
