Time is shown in minutes. Mean ± se. Mann-Whitney U pairwise comparisons were performed between Col-0 and the plant lines C24, NIL, sli1-1, and sli1-2 for temperature treatments separately (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001). Significant differences between 20 and 26°C within plant lines are shown in bold (Mann-Whitney U pairwise comparisons, P < 0.05). “Difficulties” involve penetration difficulties. “Sustained” involves events > 10 min. Latency was measured from the start of the recording. Single salivations were phloem salivations that were not directly followed or preceded by phloem ingestion. Between 12 and 20 biological replicates were measured (20°C: Col-0 n = 13, C24 n = 12, NIL n = 12, sli1-1 n = 16, sli1-2 n = 13; 26°C: Col-0 n = 20, C24 n = 14, NIL n = 14, sli1-1 n = 20, sli1-2 n = 16).
