Genetic Variation of the Host Plant Species Matters for Interactions with Above- and Belowground Herbivores

Plants are challenged by both above- and belowground herbivores which may indirectly interact with each other via herbivore-induced changes in plant traits; however, little is known about how genetic variation of the host plant shapes such interactions. We used two genotypes (M4 and E9) of Solanum d...
