Leachates from plants recently infected by root-feeding nematodes cause increased biomass allocation to roots in neighbouring plants
Abstract Plants can adjust defence strategies in response to signals from neighbouring plants attacked by aboveground herbivores. Whether similar responses exist to belowground herbivory remains less studied, particularly regarding the spatiotemporal dynamics of such belowground signalling. We grew...
