Abstract
This chapter discusses biotic interactions through examples of beneficial associations between plants and microorganisms. It considers various types of harmful interactions between plants, herbivores, and pathogens. It also surveys the wide range of inducible defenses, which plants have evolved to fend off insect herbivores, and the signaling molecules and signal transduction pathways that regulate them. The chapter highlights plant responses to microbial pathogens, for which some of the same themes of constitutive and inducible defenses are employed. It reviews the mechanisms of two other types of plant biotic interactions, nematodes, and parasitic plants, and the ecological role that toxic root exudates play during plant–plant competition.
