摘要 协同进化被定义为相互作用的物种由于彼此强加的自然选择而发生的相互遗传变化。许多生物学家认为，植物与周围生物群（包括病毒、真菌、细菌、线虫、昆虫和哺乳动物）之间的共同进化过程产生了地球上的大部分生物多样性。虽然关于植物协同进化的大部分讨论都集中在单一植物与敌人的相互作用上，但在同一个体植物中同时发生了许多其他微观和宏观协同进化过程，这就提出了我们是否应该谈论植物协同进化的问题。在这篇评论文章中，我首先简要讨论协同进化理论的框架，并探讨在自然条件下研究协同进化的复杂性。然后，我通过探索地上和地下的行为来分析植物、微生物和动物共同进化之间的差异。
Abstract Coevolution has been defined as the reciprocal genetic change in interacting species owing to natural selection imposed by each on the other. The process of coevolution between plants and the surrounding biota – including viruses, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, insects, and mammals – is considered by many biologists to have generated much of the earth's biological diversity. While much of the discussion on plant coevolution focuses on single plant–enemy interactions, a wide array of other micro and macro coevolutive processes co-occur in the same individual plant, posing the question whether we should talk about plant coevolutions. In this review article, I begin by briefly discussing the framework of coevolution theory and explore the complexities of studying coevolution in natural conditions. Then I analyze the difference between plants, microbes and animal coevolution, by exploring the above- and below-ground behaviors.
