Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi manipulate host plants to attract herbivorous insects

Abstract Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi (R-AEF) indirectly influence herbivorous insect performance. However, host plant-R-AEF interactions and R-AEF as biological control agents have been studied independently and without much attention to the potential synergy between these functional trai...
