Effects of Soil Organisms on Aboveground Plant-Insect Interactions in the Field: Patterns, Mechanisms and the Role of Methodology (2018, background): “Plantparasitic nematodes, by feeding on the roots of shared host plants, can influence the defense status and nutritional quality of host plants, potentially leading to effects on herbivores (Bezemer et al., 2003; Bezemer and van Dam, 2005; Wondafrash et al., 2013; Biere and Goverse, 2016).”
Root herbivory reduces growth and survival of the shoot feeding specialist Pieris rapae on Brassica nigra (2005, methodology): “Beet army worm ( Spodoptera exigua ) larvae that were forced to feed on cotton plants damaged by click-beetle larvae at their roots, showed reduced growth rates (Bezemer et al., 2003).”
PLANT DEFENSE BELOWGROUND AND SPATIOTEMPORAL PROCESSES IN NATURAL VEGETATION (2003, background): “Root feeders may affect the distribution of plant defense compounds, and therefore herbivore damage, over the entire plant (Bezemer et al. 2003), but it remains to be studied to what extent direct defense is under selection from belowground herbivores.”
Factors affecting the evolution of development strategies in parasitoid wasps: the importance of functional constraints and incorporating complexity (2005, background): “Alternatively, the ‘defence-induction hypothesis’ argues that root herbivory induces a defence response in the plant that can lead to the accumulation of allelochemicals above ground, which reduces the performance of foliar feeders (Bezemer et al., 2003; van Dam et al., 2003).”
HOW TO BE SWEET? EXTRAFLORAL NECTAR ALLOCATION BY GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM FITS OPTIMAL DEFENSE THEORY PREDICTIONS (2004, methodology): “Moreover, it had been used in previous cotton induction experiments (Wäckers et al. 2001, Bezemer et al. 2003).”
Local and systemic induced responses to cabbage root fly larvae (Delia radicum) in Brassica nigra and B. oleracea (2006, background): “In contrast to the above, recent studies using greenhouse grown plants showed that rootherbivory reduces the performance of shoot herbivores (Bezemer et al. 2003; van Dam et al. 2005).”
Indirect defence via tritrophic interactions. (2008, background): “Feeding on roots even can induce changes in the volatile bouquet released from the aerial parts of a plant (Bezemer et al., 2003; Soler et al., 2007), although the ecological relevance of this observation remains elusive.”
Resistance Mechanisms Against Arthropod Herbivores in Cotton and Their Interactions with Natural Enemies (2013, background): “In contrast, leaf damage did not trigger a higher rate of terpenoid synthesis in the roots (Bezemer et al., 2003, 2004) (Figure 4).”
Summer drought alters plant‐mediated competition between foliar‐ and root‐feeding insects (2007, background): “For example, under root herbivory the concentration of terpenoids increased in cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) foliage, and this induced defence resulted in a reduction in the relative growth rate of the free-living leaf chewer Spodoptera exigua (Bezemer et al., 2003).”
