Cucumber plant defense mechanism is a putative effect of cucumbers (Cucumis sativis) having a class of phytochemicals – cucurbitacins – with aroma or taste properties that discourage natural foraging by herbivores, such as insects, nematodes or wildlife. Cucumbers are crops commonly cultivated worldwide for food. As a possible defense mechanism, cucumbers produce volatile organic compounds, such as cucurbitacin C, which causes a bitter taste in some cucumber varieties. This potential mechanism is under preliminary research to identify whether or not cucumbers are able to deter herbivores and environmental stresses by using an intrinsic chemical defense.
