Not visible, but highly effective: plant volatile manipulation by endophytic fungi and responses of herbivores- Conference Paper uri icon

Resumen

  • Plants are regularly colonized by endophytic fungi; however, the resulting multitrophic interactions are poorly understood. We analysed the effect of inoculations with two different species of endophytic fungi (Beauveria bassiana and Trichoderma koningiopsis), differing in their mode of action (insect vs. plant pathogens), on tomato volatiles organic compounds (VOCs) and resulting responses of herbivores with regard to host plant selection behaviour.
