Plant–herbivore interactions have evolved in response to coevolutionary dynamics, along
with selection driven by abiotic conditions. We examine how abiotic factors influence trait …

Intensification of production across agriculture, horticulture, forestry, biodiversity restoration
and other plant-related industries is urgently needed to meet expanding demand for food …

Plants heavily rely on chemical defense systems against a variety of stressors. The
glucosinolates in the Brassicaceae and some allies are the core molecules of one of the …

Every organism on the earth maintains some kind of interaction with its neighbours. As
plants are sessile, they sense the varied above-ground and below-ground environmental …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) may influence plant–insect interactions. Although plant defense
differs between shoot and root tissues, few studies have examined root‐feeding insect …

Two desirable functions of healthy soil are nutrient cycling and pest suppression. We review
relevant literature on the contributions of soil microarthropods to soil health through their …

The temporal dynamics of rhizosphere and root microbiota composition was compared
between healthy and infected Chinese cabbage plants by the pathogen Plasmodiophora …

Plant roots are shaping microbial communities that are distinct from the surrounding soil.
These root-associated microbial communities can have both positive and negative effects on …

The contribution of surrounding plant microbiota to disease development has led to the
'pathobiome'concept, which represents the interaction between the pathogen, the host plant …

Plant association with microorganisms elicits dramatic effects on the local phytobiome and
often causes systemic and transgenerational modulation on plant immunity against insect …
