Effect of different concentrations of COR in Pst DC3000-derived medium on WFT resistance and JA-associated responses. (A) Silver damage symptoms (mean ± SEM, n = 7) in tomato plants infiltrated with 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, or 1.0× concentrations of (1) blank medium, (2) blank medium + coronatine (COR) (0.64 μM), or (3) Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000)-derived medium (no viable bacteria, containing 0.64 μM of COR). Plants were infested with western flower thrips (WFT) at 7 days after the initial treatment and evaluated 7 days after WFT infestation. (B) Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity (mean ± SEM, n = 5) was measured in the second leaf from the bottom of plants infiltrated with the above described treatments at 7 days after the initial treatment. Different letters indicate significant differences among treatments tested by Fisher’s LSD test at P < 0.05.
