MadSci Network: Botany |
What do plants of the Citrus genus have in common? I have potted tangerine trees that I put outside during the summer, and no pests attack them. Is it because the insects and fungi that normally attack them are not found here? Or are they protected by terpenes? Also what part of the leaf produces that lemon-like smell? (My trees have no fruit).
