Beneficial worm allies warn plants of parasite attack belowground and reduce aboveground herbivore preference and performance
2021-07-13
Abstract excerpt
We investigated responses of tomato to two functional guilds of nematodes - plant parasite (Meloidogyne javanica) and entomopathogens (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema feltiae belowground, and S. carpocapsae) - as well as a leaf mining insect (Tuta absoluta) aboveground. Our results indicate that entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs): 1) induced plant defense responses, 2) reduced root knot nematode (RKN) in...
