A Cabbage aphids feeding on wild-type A. thaliana plants (which contain 4MSOB-GSL (1)) were infected with B. bassiana (n = 5). Amounts of 4MSOB-GSL (1) (left) and its hydrolysis product 4MSOB-ITC (1a) (right) were quantified. B The major GSLs sequestered in cabbage aphids were hydrolyzed to ITCs upon B. bassiana infection. C 2OH3But-ITC (4a) cyclizes spontaneously to form goitrin (4b). Statistically significant differences between means (±SE) were determined by two-tailed t tests in A and are denoted by asterisks.
