Fig. 4From: The host jasmonic acid pathway regulates the transcriptomic changes of dodder and host plant under the scenario of caterpillar feeding on dodderResistance of tobacco host plants to CLW larvae after dodders were pretreated with CLW herbivory. The experimental setup is shown in Fig. 1a. Dodders were grown on WT and AOC-RNAi tobacco plants. Dodders parasitizing WT tobacco were subjected either to herbivory by two CLWs (pretreatment) or kept untreated (control) for 48 h. After 48 h, a new CLW larva was introduced to each tobacco and the masses of these larvae were recorded on day 1.5, 3, and 5. Different lowercase letters represent statistical significance (n = 15; one-way ANOVA with Duncan’s test). Error bars are standard errorsBack to article page
