Abstract
) resistance to a lepidopteran herbivore and a foliar pathogen. None of our strains increased plant resistance against herbivory; however, four strains enhanced pathogen resistance, and one of these made plants more susceptible to herbivory (likely via effects on plant defense chemistry). These findings indicate that microbial strains that enhance plant resistance to pathogens can have neutral or negative effects on resistance to herbivores, highlighting potential pitfalls in the application of beneficial rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents.
