Altered phenolic diet effects simulating concentrations in sorghum stalks on H. zea and S. frugiperda larvae

H. zea, % mortality Weight (mg) S. frugiperda, % mortality Weight (mg)
Artificial pinto bean-based diet
Solvent control 0.0a 6.3 ± 0.3a 0.0a 4.6 ± 0.2a
“Wild-type” 0.0a 6.7 ± 0.4a 0.0a 4.4 ± 0.4a
“bmr6” 0.0a 6.8 ± 0.2a 0.0a 3.4 ± 0.3b
“bmr12” 0.0a 6.1 ± 0.4a 0.0a 3.5 ± 0.4b
Sorghum leaf disk diet
“Wild-type” 0.0a 0.21 ± 0.03a 0.0a 0.20 ± 0.01a
“bmr6” 0.0a 0.20 ± 0.02a 0.0a 0.13 ± 0.01b*
“bmr12” 0.0a 0.15 ± 0.02a 0.0a 0.13 ± 0.01b*

Values are after 3 d for leaf disk diets and 5 d for artificial diet. Weights are means ± standard errors in mg. Values followed by different letters for like studies are significantly different at P < 0.05 by Chi square analysis (mortality) or analysis of variance (weights). Values of “bmr” diets in columns for the same experiment followed by a “*” are significantly different from “wild-type” diet values at P < 0.01. See Materials and Methods for phenolic additions that simulate the phenolic acid compositions found in wild-type, bmr6, and bmr12 stalks (Palmer et al. 2008).
