Abstract in brief

  • Fungal endophytes in white spruce trees can influence plant defense mechanisms against insects by producing toxic compounds or affecting the production of plant secondary metabolites, such as terpenes.
  • Experiments with eastern spruce budworm show that these fungi can directly harm or reduce the insect's ability to survive, and altering fungal communities in seedlings can change terpene levels, potentially enhancing tree resistance.
  • The study proposes a Plant Partnership Hypothesis, highlighting a coevolutionary relationship among trees, their endophytic fungi, and insect herbivores, suggesting fungi play a key role in the trees’ defense strategy.]
