Message definition (Chili pepper)
Capsaicin is produced by the plant as a [[Plant defense against herbivory|defense against mammalian predators]]. A study suggests that by protecting against attack by a [[hemiptera]]n bug, the risk of disease caused by a ''[[Fusarium]]'' fungus carried by the insects is reduced. As evidence, the study notes that peppers increased the quantity of capsaicin in proportion to the damage caused by fungi on the plant's seeds.
