Jasmonates (JAs), which can exogenously induce anti-herbivore defensive reaction in plants, are important in the field of plant physiology and plant protection. We summarized the ecological effects of exogenous JAs applied on 40 species of plants on various herbivores (such as Lepidoptera and Hemipteran) and their natural enemies in the past 20 years. We systematically genera-lized the research status about the direct and indirect antiherbivore defense induced by JAs, induced systemic defense, induction methods, induced performance in field, and the application status of JAs. Moreover, combining with the latest literatures, we reviewed the effects of JAs on plant growth-defense trade-offs from the cross-talk between phytohormone signaling pathways, and the regulation of nodes in the JA signaling pathway. Finally, we proposed the future directions and key aspects of the research on the plant anti-herbivore defense induced by exogenous JAs, which would promote the development of the related research and the application of JAs in field.

Background: The jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways are often thought to interact antagonistically in plants when mediating anti-herbivore resistance. However, we previously found that the two pathways in tea plant interact synergistically when treated with 1.5 mmol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and 20 mmol/L SA at 12 h intervals (MeJA+SA treatment).

Plants host an array of microbial symbionts, including both bacterial and fungal endophytes located within their roots. While bacterial and fungal endophytes independently alter host plant growth, response to stress and susceptibility to disease, their combined effects on host plants are poorly studied. To tease apart interactions between co-occurring endophytes on plant growth, morphology, physiology, and survival we conducted a greenhouse experiment.

Article Synopsis
- * It was found that as leaf surface temperatures increased, the diversity and resilience of the ant species interacting with the plants decreased, while the size of EFNs did not significantly influence this.
- * The results suggest that rising global temperatures could make these ant-plant mutualisms more vulnerable, highlighting the importance of understanding species interactions in the context of climate change.

The abundance of monoterpenoids and phenolic compounds determines the medicinal quality and anti-insect properties of Agastache rugosa, which can be compromised by biotic stress such as herbivore attacks. The traditional use of chemical pesticides to mitigate herbivore interference is increasingly incompatible with sustainable agriculture. In response, nanotechnology-based biostimulants, which can activate metabolic processes to enhance plant growth and stress resistance, offer a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative.

Insect herbivore eco-immunology involves complex interactions between herbivore immunity and their natural enemies, and the responses of these interactions to environmental factors including plant anti-herbivore toxins. Plant toxins can affect herbivore immunity, leading to either immunoenhancement or immunosuppression, which in turn influences their vulnerability to parasitoids and pathogens. Herbivore immune responses differ among species regionally, reflecting adaptations to local environmental conditions and natural enemy pressures.
