Design of the rice leaf folder feeding experiments. The 2nd leaf from the top of one 5-week-old Minghui 63 rice plant was enclosed in a Parafilm bag. At staggered intervals, one rice leaf folder C. medinalis caterpillar was added to each bag. Leaf tissue was harvested after 0–24 h of leaf folder feeding. Harvested samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C for further processing.
