Feeding assays of P. versicolora larvae with the detached axenic leaves that had reintroduced with SynCom-^SL or SynCom-^HL. A Representative bioassays with the detached axenic sick leaves (SL-^axenic) or healthy leaves (HL-^axenic) that had reintroduced with SynCom-^SL or SynCom-^HL. Leaves were fed to first-instar P. versicolora larvae and refreshed with the axenic leaves reintroduced with SynCom-^SL or SynCom-^HL daily. The photographs were taken on day 3.
