The time pea aphids and cowpea aphids spent in various feeding activities on treated (+genistin, +apigenin, +ferulic acid, and +p-coumaric acid) and control plants. (ag) Various feeding activities of pea aphids, (hn) Various feeding activities of cowpea aphids. ‘Phloem feeding’ indicates that aphids are injecting watery saliva into the sieve element and ingesting the phloem sap; ‘potential drops’ indicates that aphids briefly puncture cells during plant penetration; ‘nonpenetration’ indicates that stylets are outside the plants; ‘pathway’ indicates that mostly intramural probing activities between mesophyll or parenchyma cells. Values are the means (±SE) of 15–20 biological replicates. Significant differences: *there was significant difference between the treatment and control at P < 0.05.
