Figure Lengend Snippet: Statistically significant fold-changes (absolute FC > 2 and p value < 0.05) in abundance of S. exigua OS proteins identified in both pairwise contrasts between leaf-fed (pepper and tomato) and AD-fed larvae

Article Snippet: S. exigua colony was originally founded from eggs provided by Andermatt Biocontrol AG (Grossdietwil, Switzerland) whereas S. littoralis colony was founded with pupae provided by Primitivo Caballero Murillo’s laboratory (Instituto de Agrobiotecnología, CSIC, Navarra, Spain).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Quantification of titers of ( a ) Spodoptera exigua iflavirus 1 (SeIV-1) and ( b ) SeIV-2 in the developmental stages of Spodoptera exigua . Viral loads were estimated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) for insects that hatched from egg masses that had been treated with 10 7 , 10 8 and 10 9 genomes/µL of a mixture of SeIV-1 and SeIV-2 (time-course experiment). The control egg masses were not treated (NT) or treated with hypochlorite solution (NaClO). Vertical bars indicate SE. Columns headed by different letters differ significantly for comparisons of treatments within each developmental stage (ANOVA, Tukey p < 0.05). Horizontal lines indicate comparisons among developmental stages in ( a ) and ( b ). n.s. indicates not significant, whereas ** indicates significant difference (ANOVA, p < 0.01). ( c ) Relative abundance (mean 2 ΔCt values) of SeIV-1 and SeIV-2 in insect samples calculated with reference to Ct values for the ATP-synthase reference gene.
