Fig. 4.

Damage patterns inflicted by isopods on rice plants. (A and B) Seven-day-old rice plants were transferred for 24 h into soil containing A. vulgare. Arrowhead indicates damage to stem of the homozygous hebiba (heb) mutant but not to plants that did not segregate for the homozygous mutation (WT). The center of the elongated mesocotyl (m) in hebiba is indicated with an arrow. (C) Pairs of 5-leaf-stage rice plants that did not segregate for the hebiba phenotype (WT) and the hebiba phenotype plants (heb) plants after culture with P. scaber. P. scaber felled the hebiba plants.
