From: Compensatory phenolic induction dynamics in aspen after aphid infestation
Boxplots of induced growth and defence phenotypes of aspen plantlets (grey coloured after genotype) after infestation by Chaitophora aphids (red frame), mechanical leaf rupture (green frame), and controls (blue frame). Responses include: (A) height; (B) leaf production; and foliar concentrations in mg/g FW of: (C) total phenolics; and (D) condensed tannins, during two experimental set-ups that took place on plantlets from the same batch one month apart. Horizontal lines in the boxes indicate the median and box boundaries 25 and 75 percentile, respectively. Vertical lines represent the range of values per tested unit (n = 3). Means ± s.e. are detailed in Table 1, together with test specifics.
