Abstract

A well-known trade-off exists between plant defenses against herbivores and defenses against pathogens, but few studies incorporate the plant microbiome. A new study by Humphrey and Whiteman shows that herbivory reshapes the leaf microbiome and increases susceptibility to potential bacterial pathogens.
