Fungal endophytes enhanced insect resistance by improving the defenses of <scp><i>Achnatherum sibiricum</i></scp> before locust feeding
The present study showed that endophyte-conferred host defense was mainly constitutive, that is, the defense characteristics of host plants were mainly manifested in no feeding groups. Endophyte presence enhanced locust resistance of the host by activating the JA/ET signaling pathway, elevating chitinase activity and phenolic compounds content, thereby improving the defense ability of host plants. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
