Plants protect themselves from aphids through various mechanisms, including the production of chemical compounds such as alkaloids and terpenes that deter feeding. Some plants also release volatile organic compounds to attract natural predators like ladybugs and lacewings, which feed on aphids. Additionally, physical defenses, such as thorns and sticky substances, can help reduce aphid infestations. Overall, these strategies enhance the plant's resilience against aphid attacks.
