Bottom-up effects on herbivore-induced plant defences: a case study based on compositional patterns of rhizosphere microbial communities

Abstract Below-ground soil microorganisms can modulate above-ground plant-insect interactions. It still needs to be determined whether this is a direct effect of single species or an indirect effect of shifts in soil microbial community assemblages. Evaluation of the soil microbiome as a whole is cr...
