1. Tannins are one of the most studied groups of plant secondary metabolites in research related to chemical ecology. They are traditionally thought to form an important factor of plant defence against herbivorous insects.
2. For a long time, tannins’ anti‐herbivore activity was thought to derive from their protein precipitation capacity that rendered plant tissues non‐nutritious and unpalatable for...
Tannins are chemically complex plant polyphenols and only little is known of their true molecule‐specific anti‐herbivore activities. Here we will show that modern tannin chemistry is able to reveal fully new types of tannins in plants together with new types of biological activities for the tannins. Most of these new findings relate to ellagitannins, one of the least studied and underestimated classes...
