Rhoades (1977) proposed that secondary metabolites are not end points, but integrated components of plant metabolism, and may take on any number of functions.
“In other words, Rhoades (1977) proposed that secondary metabolites are not end points, but integrated components of plant metabolism, and may, by consequence, take on any number of functions, similar to other plant metabolites.”

Rhoades (1977) found that creosotebush leaf resin absorbed ultraviolet radiation, reduced evaporative water loss across cellulose membranes, and formed complexes with proteins.
“He found that the resin, which contained high levels of phenylpropanoid derivatives (lignans), absorbed ultraviolet radiation, reduced evaporative water loss across cellulose membranes, and had the capacity to form complexes with proteins, thus possibly reducing the digestibility of plant materials for herbivores (Rhoades, 1977, p. 281).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
