TL;DR
Understanding of both types of plant-enemy interaction would be enhanced by greater exposure of researchers to developments in both disciplines and by more studies of interactions between pathogen and herbivore species associated with the same hosts.
Abstract
Herbivores and pathogens often attack or infect the same plant parts, and the same plant traits can affect the likelihood and degree of damage. Research on plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions in natural systems have, however, proceeded largely independently of each other. Our understanding of both types of plant-enemy interaction would be enhanced by greater exposure of researchers to developments in both disciplines and by more studies of interactions between pathogen and herbivore species associated with the same hosts.

Agricultural and Biological Sciences
ScienceResource Availability and Plant Antiherbivore Defense
3,980 Citations1985Phyllis D. Coley, John P. Bryant +1 more
Resource availability in the environment is proposed as the major determinant of both the amount and type of plant defense, and theories on the evolution of plant defenses are compared with other theories.
EvolutionBUTTERFLIES AND PLANTS: A STUDY IN COEVOLUTION
3,822 Citations1964Paul R. Ehrlich, Peter H. Raven
The relationship between butterflies and their food plants is investigated, the examination of patterns of interaction between two major groups of organisms with a close and evident ecological relationship, such as plants and herbivores.
Plant Apparency and Chemical Defense
2,346 Citations1976Paul Feeny
A test of how far understanding of insect ecology has progressed will be the authors' ability to predict how patterns vary from one kind of community to another and how they will change when subjected to natural or human disturbance.
EcologyOn the Evolution of Host Specificity in Phytophagous Arthropods
1,203 Citations1988Elizabeth A. Bernays, Michelle A. Graham
It is argued that generalist natural enemies of herbivorous insects provide a major selection pressure for restricted host plant range and the significance of plant chemistry is discussed in terms of regulating behavior.
EvolutionCONSTRAINTS ON CHEMICAL COEVOLUTION: WILD PARSNIPS AND THE PARSNIP WEBWORM
424 Citations1986May R. Berenbaum, A. R. Zangerl +1 more
The wild parsnip and the Parsnip webworm appear to have reached an evolutionary “stalemate” in the coevolutionary arms race.
EvolutionTHE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF HOST PLANT ADAPTATION IN A SPATIAL PATCHWORK: DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABILITY AMONG RECIPROCALLY TRANSPLANTED PEA APHID CLONES
375 Citations1991Sara Via
The structure of genetic variation for host use reveals patterns of local adaptation, probable selective consequences of migration between hosts, and the potential for further evolution.
MycologiaCoevolution of Fungi with Plants and Animals
306 Citations1989D. B. O. Savile, K. A. Pirozynski +1 more
Coevolution of fungi with plants and animals is studied in detail in a number of studies on cooperation between fungi and animals.
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionPhylogenetic studies of insect-plant interactions: Insights into the genesis of diversity
235 Citations1991Charles Mitter, Brian D. Farrell +1 more
The strong phylogenetic component in many insect-plant associations suggests that host shifts by insects are often strongly constrained, that insect diets may not be 'optimal', and that the trophic structure and species diversity of local communities strongly reflect evolutionary history.
EvolutionA MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE CO-EVOLUTION OF OBLIGATE PARASITES AND THEIR HOSTS
144 Citations1958Charles J. Mode
The genetic systems uncovered by the work of Flor, Briggs, and his associates will be briefly reviewed and their evolutionary significance will be interpreted from the standpoint of population genetics.
OecologiaResponses of Neodiprion sertifer (Hym., Diprionidae) larvae to variation in needle resin acid concentration in Scots pine
119 Citations1986Stig Larsson, Christer Bj�rkman +1 more
The physiology and behaviour of N. sertifer has been shaped, in part, by the conflict between the negative effects of resin acids primarily in early instars (longer developmental time with a corresponding increase in exposure to natural enemies and an increase in direct mortality), and the positive effect of resin acid in later instar (a need for resin acids for use in its own predator defence secretion).
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionThe ecology and evolution of host-plant resistance to insects
81 Citations1990Ellen L. Simms, Robert S. Fritz
Quantitative genetic tests of herbivory theory reveal that in some cases insect herbivores impose selection on resistance traits, and models of multispecies coevolution are more realistic than pairwise coevolved models.
OecologiaGeneralized plant defense: effects on multiple species
73 Citations1991Vera Krischik, R. W. Goth +1 more
The data indicate that nicotine was inhibitory to growth of both herbivores and pathogens, suggesting that certain plant secondary chemicals with high toxicity are of a generalized nature and affect multiple species.

73 Citations1991Yan B. Linhart
Recent work suggests that this multispecies selection, although common in natural communities, now needs to be incorporated more fully into ecological and evolutionary perspectives.

28 Citations1988Marianne P. de Nooij
The plant suffers from both the fungus and the insect and, apart from an indirect impact of the fungus on the weevil population, does not seem to benefit from the relationships.
