Abstract:

Plants can generate self-defense or create symbiotic relationships with other plants. Means of self-defense include poisons, thorns, thick skins, spines, or irritating hair. Symbiotic defense mechanisms often involve the exchange of vital nutrients or enhancing the ability for other plants to gather additional moisture or nutrients.
