FIGURE 1

Trichome mutants and their effect on herbivore performance and predator movement. (a) Stem surface of wild type tomato and the trichome mutants hairless, dialytic and hairs absent. (b) Average oviposition rate (± SE) per 48 h of adapted (green bars) and maladapted (orange bars) spider mites on leaf discs of wild type tomato, trichome mutants and bean plants. Different letters signify significant differences for the maladapted (W‐Z) and adapted (a, b) spider mite strain (contrasts after LME, all p < 0.0001). (c) Average densities (± SE) of the tomato russet mite on wild type tomato plants and the hairless mutant 3 weeks after infestation. Letters in bars indicate significant differences (contrasts after GLM). (d) Proportion (± SE) of predators that was found trapped by the glandular trichomes (orange bars) or that reached a leaflet with prey (green bars) on wild type tomato and three trichome mutants. Letters Y, Z indicate significant differences between the proportions trapped, a, b indicates significant differences between the proportions that reached the leaflet with prey (contrasts after GLM, p < 0.05).
