Controlling sap-sucking insect pests with recombinant endophytes expressing plant lectin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We developed a novel pest management strategy, which uses endophytes to express anti-pest plant lectins. Fungal endophyte of Chaetomium globosum YY-11 with anti-fungi activities was isolated from rape seedlings, and bacterial endophytes of SJ-10 ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus alters the phyllosphere microbial community and modifies plant defences against co‐attack of pea aphid and pathogen

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), pathogens and insect pests usually colonize or infect the same plant. Besides, AMF changes plant defence enzymes and metabolites under multiple biotic stresses and alters the interrelationship between plant, pathogen and insect ...

Intraspecific plant chemodiversity at plot level has contrasting effects on arthropod functional groups

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant chemistry mediates interactions between plants and their environment. While intraspecific chemodiversity at the individual plant level is well studied, the effects of chemodiversity at the plant community level on arthropod interactions need more attention.

Rooted disruptions: Below‐ground herbivory drives contrasting natural enemy foraging for hosts and prey

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although research on below‐ground multitrophic interactions has increased, comparative studies examining how root herbivores influence the foraging behaviour of different natural enemies—especially generalist predators—remains limited.
