Silencing a 13-LOX destabilizes metabolite homeostasis in cucumber beetle-attacked roots. Concentrations of total protein (A and B), soluble sugars (C and D), and free amino acids (E and F) in wild-type and jasmonate-deficient asLOX and hebiba rice root systems under attack by cucumber beetle were measured 7 d postinfestation (n = 8; + se). Plants infested with cucumber beetle were grown under nonflooded conditions. The results of two-way ANOVAs testing for genotype and root treatment effects are shown. Different letters and asterisks indicate significant differences among treatments and genotypes (P < 0.05). AA, Amino acid; D, cucumber beetle; FW, fresh weight; G, genotype; GxD, genotype × cucumber beetle; WT, wild type; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
