(a,b) M. persicae feeding increased indole glucosinolate concentration in plant leaves. **P < 0.01; Student’s t-test. (c,d) MeJA and SA treatment on glucosinolate concentration in plant leaves. Kruskal-Wallis test. Different letters above bars indicate significant difference at P < 0.05. Values shown are mean ± SE. Glucosinolate side chain abbreviations: 4MTB, 4-methylsulfinylbutyl; I3M, indol-3-ylmethyl; 4MI3M, 4-methoxyindol-3-ylmethyl; 4OHI3M, 4-hydroxyindol-3-ylmethyl; 1MI3M, 1-methoxyindol-3-ylmethyl.
