Figure 3.

Knockdown of bacterial‐origin horizontally transferred genes reduced aphid survival with no effects on ladybug survival. Bioassay experiments were repeated at least 5 times, with 5–8 plants for each construct as biological replicates in each experiment. Dots on top of each bar graph represent individual data points collected from multiple experiments. Letters above the bars indicate significant differences between treatments by ANOVA (P < 0.05) with a block effect (experiment). Significant differences in the aphid survival between treatments are indicated for the last time point (i.e. 120 h), **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ns, not significant.
