Abstract The symbiosis with beneficial soil microbiota importantly affects plant physiology, growth and community structure. These effects are known to translate into changes of aboveground plant-herbivore interactions, and there is increasing evidence that microbial symbioses alter the defensive plant phenotype far beyond the primary plant metabolism. Microbe-mediated changes in plant defensive traits have been reported for various plant-microbe systems including both bacterial and fungal mutualists. Microbial mutualists not only affect the expression of direct plant defences, but also alter indirect defences like volatile production and extrafloral nectaries and thus have cascading effects on higher trophic levels. By simultaneously affecting a suite of plant defensive traits, they may modulate the benefits and costs of alternative defence strategies. Our understanding of the impact of plant-associated microbial mutualists in food webs is critical to elucidate their functional role in ecosystems. However, it is still limited by a lack of integration of natural complexity and evolutionary context into concepts and studies of microbe-plant-herbivore interactions.
