The levels of phytohormones in seven different tissues from Trichobaris mucorea-attacked and control plants. a Mean (± SE) levels of JA were significantly increased in the attacked LM, all stem and root tissues comparing with control tissues. b Mean (± SE) levels ABA were only increased in SE, SV, and RCE. c Mean (± SE) levels SA were not significantly different between subdivided tissues from control and attacked plants. C represents non-attacked (control) plants, and A represents T. mucorea-attacked plants. Asterisks indicate significant differences among treatments (Student t-test; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; n = 6)
