How toxins Protect Plants Plants have toxic agents in them which don't harm plants. Such toxic materials protect plants from herbivores. These toxins are acting as defense for plants. •Terpene glycosides These toxins are found in the species of tobacco plants. These plants produce nicotine as defense against herbivores. Herbivores can't eat tobacco plants due to presence of nicotine. Nicotine is highly toxic agent which can't harm plants but acting as defense for plants from herbivores due to presence of proteins. Plants have special types of proteins which protect them from nicotine or harmful materials.
