Evidence for functional convergence in genes upregulated by herbivores ingesting plant secondary compounds

BACKGROUND: Nearly 40 years ago, Freeland and Janzen predicted that liver biotransformation enzymes dictated diet selection by herbivores. Despite decades of research on model species and humans, little is known about the biotransformation mechanisms used by mammalian herbivores to metabolize plant...
