Self-defense mechanisms of plants in nature

Plants, like all living things in nature, must protect themselves from enemies in a certain way. These methods of protection provide a greater variety plant species in the Nakhchivan. The flora of the Nakhchivan with a sharply continental climate, rich in xerophytic flora, secrete more biologically active substances, for the purpose of self-defense. Plant species containing plant anteraquinones, alkaloids, coumarins, tannins, glycosides, saponins, have a toxic effect on living things, alienating them from themselves or poisoning them.
