Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses have a significant impact on plant interactions with other organisms. Increased resistance to soil-borne pathogens has been widely described in mycorrhizal plants. By contrast, effects on shoot diseases largely rely on the lifestyle and challenge strategy of the attacker. Among the potential mechanisms involved in the resistance of mycorrhizal systems, the induction of plant defenses is the most controversial. During mycorrhiza formation, modulation of plant defense responses occurs, potentially through cross-talk between salicylic acid and jasmonate dependent signaling pathways. This modulation may impact plant responses to potential enemies by priming the tissues for a more efficient activation of defense mechanisms.
