Drosophila and L. plantarum synergize to defend against Diaporthe FY. a The colony growth of Diaporthe FY with L. plantarum in the presence or absence of larvae. A total of 25 third instar larva were transferred to each plate with a fly diet inoculated with Diaporthe FY, L. plantarum, or both. The plates were incubated at 25 °C and colony growth was assessed at 72 h. b Mycelia of Diaporthe FY with L. plantarum in the absence or presence of larvae. c The number of branching mycelia in the absence or presence of larvae. The one-sample t-test; *** P < 0.001
