Response of latex-defective E. lathyris plants to infestation by A. proletella.
(A) Natural infestation of E. lathyris wild-type plants by A. proletella. Scale bars represent 1 mm.
(B) Different life stages of A. proletella: winged adult whiteflies, eggs, and nymphs (NI to NIV or puparia). Scale bars represent 1 mm.
(C) Composition of A. proletella populations on E. lathyris wild-type and pil1 mutant plants at the end of the experiment showed neither quantitative nor qualitative differences, and both plant types were suitable hosts for this herbivore. Error bars represent mean ± SE (one-way ANOVA, p = 0.2461).
