Figure 3. — K-Deficiency Reduced Thrips Damage on A. thaliana.

(A) Typical appearance of control (left) or K-starved (right) Arabidopsis thaliana Col0 wild-type plants exposed to thrips (Frankliniella sp., middle inset, bar is 100 μm). Insect bites are visible as white spots on the leaves of control plants. Bar = 1 cm.

(B) Numbers of insect bites on leaves of control (black bars) or K-starved (white bars) wild-type plants. Forty plants were analyzed for each condition. Average numbers of bites for different leaf sizes (large: >25 mm², medium: 10–25 mm², small: <10 mm² leaf surface) are shown. All differences are significant at p < 0.001 (t-test).

(C) Numbers of insect bites on leaves of control (black bars) or K-starved (white bars) wild-type and mutant plants. Mutants were defective for JA-dependent indolic gucosinolate production (cyp79b2/b3) or JA-signaling through COI1 (coi1-16).
