Belowground Mycorrhizal Endosymbiosis and Aboveground Insects: Can Multilevel Interactions be Exploited for a Sustainable Control of Pests?

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 15))

Terrestrial plants interact with an incredible variety of organisms. Some of these interactions are beneficial, some are detrimental; some develop in the aerial part of the plant, some at root level. The study of these interactions is a precious source of information that could be used to increase plant fitness, especially plant defence against insect pests and microbial pathogens.
