Abstract:
Beneficial microbes induce resistance in plants (MIR), imposing both lethal and sublethal effects on herbivorous insects. We argue that herbivores surviving MIR carry metabolic and immunological imprints of MIR with cascading effects across food webs. We propose that incorporating such cascading effects will strongly enhance the current MIR research framework.
摘要:
有益微生物诱导植物抗性(MIR),对食草昆虫施加致命和亚致命的影响。我们认为,存活于MIR的草食动物携带MIR的代谢和免疫印记,并在食物网中产生级联效应。我们建议结合这种级联效应将大大增强当前的MIR研究框架。
