But what Im asking is have plants evolved defense mechanisms against humans yet? Is it possible?-Depends on what you consider a defense mechanism against humans.Plenty of plants are produce toxic/poisonous to human consumption.You also have thorns and such.Many plants have also adapted to our agricultural practices.......
I know that plants have adapted to things in nature, such as predatorial factors. Such as evolving their color, or etc.

Depends on what you consider a "defense mechanism against humans."

Plenty of plants are produce toxic/poisonous to human consumption. You also have thorns and such.

Many plants have also adapted to our agricultural practices. Many weeds germinate and flower faster, and some are herbicide-tolerant. Selection and evolution happens quickly - if you look at a lawn that is mowed often, the dandelions are shorter than a lawn that is allowed to grow out more.
