Damage patterns inflicted by isopods on Arabidopsis plants. (A) P. scaber climbing on the underside of a cauline leaf from a WT plant. Note a severed inflorescence stem (yellow arrowhead). (B) Petiole-severing activity observed on a WT Arabidopsis plant (yellow arrowhead). (C and D) Comparison of feeding on WT Arabidopsis plants and aos plants compromised in jasmonate production. Arabidopsis was grown for 5 weeks and then transplanted into fresh soil. Plants were photographed before the addition of P. scaber that had been starved for 2 days. Seven days later the plants were again photographed. P. scaber consumed all aboveground tissues of aos, even destroying the leaf midribs. Note that plants were in pairs. (E) Arabidopsis plants (WT and aos) were grown for 6 weeks in the same container before introducing P. scaber. Leaf damage was monitored.
