The article informs that phenolic compounds often accumulate in foliar tissues of deciduous woody plants in response to previous insect defoliation. It is mentioned that phenolics is associated with the reduced foliage nitrogen concentrations in deciduous trees which may also be the case with the evergreen conifers. This defoliation reduces needle nitrogen concentration and nitrogen deficiency results in the accumulation of the myricetin and quercetin glycosides, and soluble condensed tannins.

The moose choice of birch clones was studied by offering nine clonesof European white birch plantlets to free-ranging moose in a field cafeteria experiment. Twig quality, especially the defensive chemical content, affected moose feeding preference. Moose took a bite of larger diameter but tended to consume less from clones with a high phenolcontent. Moose preferred clones with small current annual shoots andfew resin droplets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
