Promises and challenges in insect–plant interactions
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2018 AbstractThere is tremendous diversity of interactions between plants and other species. These relationships range from antagonism to mutualism. Interactions of plants with members of their ecological community can lead to a profound metabolic reconfiguration of the plants’ physiology.

Bacillus based biocontrol on Brassica [PDF]
, 2008 Many bacterial strains have been shown to mediate protection to biotic stress and promote growth of plants. Different bacteria can mediate protection in different ways e.g. by inhibition, competition or increasing plant resistance.
