Figure 5From: Jasmonate-dependent plant defense restricts thrips performance and preferenceEffect of JA-induced Arabidopsis defense response on thrips population. Twenty adult females fed on 3-week-old WT plants. Either 50 μM JA or water (control) was applied 2 days before thrips were introduced. After 2 weeks, eggs (A), adults (B), and larvae (C) were counted. Mean ± SD based on five independent determinations. Asterisks indicate significant differences (Student's t-test), *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.Back to article page
