Graphical hypothesis: Cross-pollination and herbivory improve bioactive properties of plants against microorganisms. It is expected that outcrossed plant progeny (left side) have higher bioactive essential oils than inbred plant progeny (absence of pollinators, right side). It is also expected that herbivory increases bioactivity but in higher magnitude in outcrossed plant progeny. Icons used in this figure are from the Noun Project (https://thenounproject.com).
