- Abstract
This supports not only the existence of a trade-off between growth/reproduction and defence to herbivory without the participation of the plant endophytes, but also that the trade-off persists, at least in this species, in symbiotic (E+) plants (Fig. From these studies, we assume that the experimental design (E+ and E- plants) effectively disrupts any potential positive effect of the plant-microbe symbiosis in E- plants.
