Conclusions Mycorrhizae (like other plant-associated microbes) can be important “hidden players” in plant-insect interactions. Despite their positive effects on leaf quality (lower C/N, IG), mycorrhizae do not necessarily enhance insect larval growth. In one case, mycorrhizae suppress (not enhance) the plant’s ability to induce defense in response to herbivory. In one case, mycorrhizae reduced (not enhanced) attractiveness of damaged plants to parasitoids. Due to suppression of GL/terpenoid HIPVs ?
