It was in 1988 that Keith Clay proposed defensive mutualism to explain the widespread distribution of endophytic fungi in grasses, and here scientists from many fields and many countries describe the current findings and ongoing research 20 years later into defensive mutualisms in several kingdoms of organisms and the phenomenon of microbial-based defensive mutualism. Clay himself ponders whether his original hypothesis is still valid. Others cover prokaryotic and eukaryotic defensive symbionts, and the fungal endophyte as a model system to understand defensive mutualism. Specific topics include bacterial chemical defenses of marine animal hosts, arbuscular mycorrhizae as defense against pathogens, and habitat-adapted symbiosis as a defense against abiotic and biotic stresses.
