Figure 6. The bhlh3 bhlh13 bhlh14 bhlh17 quadruple mutant exhibited enhanced JA-mediated plant defense against insect.

Figure 6

(A) Representative rosette leaves of wild-type (WT), the quadruple mutant bhlh3 bhlh13 bhlh14 bhlh17 (Q4), and coi1-1 after feeding without (CK) or with S. exigua. (B) Representative S. exigua larvae before feeding (0 d) or two days after feeding (2 d) with rosette leaves WT, Q4 and coi1-1. The scale bar represents 5 mm. (C) Increase of S. exigua larval weight two days after feeding with rosette leaves of WT, Q4 and coi1-1. Error bars represent SE. Asterisks represent Student's t-test significance compared with WT plants: **, P<0.01. (D) The preference of S. exigua larvae in the three-choice test among WT, Q4 and coi1-1. Error bars represent SE. Asterisks represent Student's t-test significance compared with WT plants: **, P<0.01. (E) The preference of S. exigua larvae in the two-choice test between WT and Q4, or between WT and coi1-1. Error bars represent SE. Asterisks represent Student's t-test significance compared with WT plants: **, P<0.01.
