Modulation of plant-mediated interactions between herbivores of different feeding guilds: Effects of parasitism and belowground interactions

Abstract Herbivory affects subsequent herbivores, mainly regulated by the phytohormones jasmonic (JA) and salicylic acid (SA). Additionally, organisms such as soil microbes belowground or parasitoids that develop inside their herbivorous hosts aboveground, can change plant responses to herbivory. Ho...
