Journal ArticleDOI
Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota
Lingfei Hu,Christelle A. M. Robert,Selma Cadot,Xi Zhang,Meng Ye,Beibei Li,Daniele Manzo,Noémie Chervet,Thomas Steinger,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Marcel G. A. van der Heijden,Klaus Schlaeppi,Matthias Erb +12 more
TL;DR: The results reveal a mechanism by which plants determine the composition of rhizosphere microbiota, plant performance and plant-herbivore interactions of the next generation by modifying root-associated microbiota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of phytohormones in insect-specific plant reactions.
TL;DR: The jasmonate (JA) pathway has emerged as the major signaling cassette that integrates information perceived at the plant-insect interface into broad-spectrum defense responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tritrophic Interactions Mediated by Herbivore-Induced Plant Volatiles: Mechanisms, Ecological Relevance, and Application Potential.
Ted C. J. Turlings,Matthias Erb +1 more
TL;DR: This overview focuses on the main gaps in knowledge of tritrophic interactions, and it is argued that filling these gaps will greatly facilitate efforts to exploit HIPVs for pest control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Secondary Metabolites as Defenses, Regulators, and Primary Metabolites: The Blurred Functional Trichotomy.
TL;DR: Viewing secondary metabolites as integrated components of metabolic networks that are dynamically shaped by environmental selection pressures and transcend multiple trophic levels can improve the understanding of plant metabolism and plant–environment interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indole is an essential herbivore-induced volatile priming signal in maize
Matthias Erb,Nathalie Veyrat,Christelle A. M. Robert,Hao Xu,Monika Frey,Jurriaan Ton,Ted C. J. Turlings +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that indole functions as a rapid and potent aerial priming agent that prepares systemic tissues and neighbouring plants for incoming attacks.
