Root inoculation with beneficial soil microbes enhances indirect plant defences induced by insect feeding and egg deposition Open
Plants can respond to insect egg deposition by emitting oviposition‐induced plant volatiles (OIPVs) recruiting parasitoids. The recruitment of carnivore insects in response to egg deposition is considered an indirect defence strategy that …
