Fig. 1

a Laboratory setups of replicate cultivation experiments of S. frugiperda larva fed with corn leaf (1) and PVC film (2) on petri dishes. b, c Cumulative survival and weight loss of larvae in the Corn group, PVC group, Starvation group (no feeding), and Antibiotic group (gentamicin pretreatment of intestinal microbiota before PVC feeding). Log-rank test was used to identify difference in cumulative survival (b) between groups. Box plots showed center line as median, and the upper and lower whiskers show maxima and minima, and box limits show upper and lower quartiles. Wilcoxon test was used to identify the difference in weight loss (c) between groups. Both statistical tests were two-sided and P values (***≤0.001 ≤ **≤0.01 *≤0.05) were adjusted by Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) multiple testing. d, e Intestinal microbiota composition at the phylum (d) and genus (e) levels.
