Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (eg symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while some are detrimental (eg herbivorous insects and pathogenic micro-organisms). Multitrophic interactions between below-ground and above-ground organisms are receiving increasing attention because they may influence plant defences against biotic and abiotic stresses (van Dam et al., 2003). Plant defences can be constitutive or induced (Agrawal et al., 1999; Walling, 2000), and may also be direct (eg toxic compounds like glucosinolates in Brassicaceae) or indirect. Indirect defences typically involve the production of volatile semiochemicals that are attractive towards natural enemies of herbivorous insects (Dicke, 1999). These semiochemicals have been referred to as synomones to stress the mutual benefit of the partners involved (Vet & Dicke, 1992). Some of these volatiles are released as a specific response to the attack of a specific herbivore (see Agrawal et al., 1999 and references therein), a feature termed induced indirect defence. Several studies show that the release of induced volatiles is not confined exclusively to the organ attacked but involves all the plant through the circulation of systemic elicitors
