We consider how fungi that form symbiotic associations with plants interact with insect
herbivores attacking the same plants. Both endophytes and mycorrhizae have significant …

A number of studies have shown that an association with mycorrhizal fungi can alter the
outcome of interactions between plants and their enemies. While the directions of these …

Mycorrhizal status of the host plant is often ignored in studies on plant–herbivore
interactions, but mycorrhizal colonization is known to induce many morphological …

The mutualistic root-colonizing endophytes Fusarium oxysporum strain Fo162 (Fo162) and
Rhizobium etli strain G12 (G12) have been shown to individually induce systemic resistance …

Salt stress harms the growth and development of plants, and the degree of soil salinization
in North China is becoming increasingly severe. Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic …

Below-ground (BG) symbionts of plants can have substantial influence on plant growth and
nutrition. Recent work demonstrates that mycorrhizal fungi can affect plant resistance to …

We investigated herbivore suitability, foliar chemistry, and seedling growth of blight-
susceptible pure American chestnut, Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh., and a blight …

Abstract 1 Eucalypts are an important part of plantation forestry in Asia but, in south China,
productivity is very low. This is due to infertile soils and lack of indigenous symbiotic …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can facilitate nutrient uptake and increase host plant
growth but also place constraints on the host's carbon budget. When plants are stressed by …

This chapter conducts a review to identify the features that drive research in plant-herbivore
interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. Herbivory has traditionally been viewed as a binary …
