This symposium will present novel research on plant-insect interactions influenced by organisms that are often overlooked, including microbes that interact with insects, plants, and natural enemies. These topics are timely given the explosion of research involving multi-trophic interactions that impact plant defenses against herbivores and the efficacy of natural enemies.
