TL;DR
It is argued that the plant holobiont the plant together with its rhizosphere, phyllosphere, phyllosphere and endophytic microbiota offers a more complete account of herbivore resistance than plant-centred models alone, but that the field's central problem is no longer discovering mechanisms; it is explaining why those mechanisms perform inconsistently outside controlled conditions.
This review critically synthesizes the ‘landscape’ of endophyte-mediated pest resistance through direct antagonism by insecticidal metabolites and enzymes, immune priming, signaling crosstalk, volatile organic compound-mediated indirect defense, and microbiome restructuring to provide a translational framework for movi...
How organisms convert short-term stress into long-term defense is a key ecological question. Classic herbivore-induced plant volatiles recruit natural enemies but act briefly only in damaged tissues. Here, we report that leaf herbivory establishes a persistent soil defensive legacy to help uninfested subsequent plants...
The association between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms can profoundly influence aboveground trophic interactions, yet these effects are often context-dependent. Although plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly used in maize production, little is known about how these microorganisms affec...
Healthy host plants harbor taxonomically structured and diverse endophytic microbial communities that establish sophisticated symbiotic crosstalk with their hosts. These endophytic microbiomes confer multiple beneficial traits, including growth promotion, nutrient acquisition, and enhanced resistance to biotic and abio...
ABSTRACT Root volatiles mediate diverse belowground interactions among plants, microbes, and invertebrates, but biological and environmental conditions strongly influence their production, movement, perception, and ecological effects. This review synthesizes current knowledge through an integrative conceptual framework...
This review synthesises current evidence on the mechanisms underlying endophyte-mediated effects of antibiotic and antixenotic effects, highlighting how these interactions shape herbivore behaviour and performance.
