Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alter above- and below-ground chemical defense expression differentially among Asclepias species

Belowground symbionts of plants can have substantial influence on plant growth and nutrition. Recent work demonstrates that mycorrhizal fungi can affect plant resistance to herbivory and the performance of above and belowground herbivores. Although these examples emerge from diverse systems, it is u...
