Chemical cues from <i>Agrilus biguttatus</i> beetle larvae trigger proliferation and putative virulence gene expression of the tree pathogen <i>Brenneria goodwinii</i>
These findings highlight the importance of inter-kingdom interactions in plant disease and suggest a role for insect-derived chemical elicitors in facilitating the virulence of phytopathogens.
