Figure 4From: Jasmonate-dependent plant defense restricts thrips performance and preferenceEffect of the JA-dependent plant defense on host plant preference of thrips. (A) Three-week-old WT plants (left) and coi1-1 mutants (right) were grown at each end of a pot. One hundred adult females were collected in a 1-mL tube and laid between the plants. Photo shows plants after 2 days. (B) Number of adult thrips on each plant after 2 days. Mean ± SD based on five independent determinations. Asterisk indicates a significant difference between the two plants, χ2 test, ***p < 0.001. The remaining thrips roamed the surroundings were excluded from the statistical analysis.Back to article page
