Exposure to relatively small amounts of E,S-conophthorin enhances jasmonic acid induction in S. altissima. a After 1 h of feeding, T. virgata larvae induced significantly higher levels of JA in plants exposed to E,S-conophthorin, compared to unexposed control plants (ANOVA F 3,14 = 13.09, P = 0.0002, n = 8). b After 24 h of feeding by T. virgata larvae, E,S-conophthorin-exposed plants induced significantly more JA compared to controls, and induction of JA followed a dose response, with plants exposed to the full dose (100%) inducing the highest quantity of JA (ANOVA F 3,14 = 29.1, P = 0.000002, n = 8). Data shown are not transformed but statistical analyses were performed on square-root-transformed data. Bars marked with different letter indicates significant differences (Tukey post hoc test, P ≤ 0.05). Error bars correspond to standard errors
