Transcriptome and Metabolome Reprogramming in Tomato Plants by Trichoderma Harzianum strain T22 Primes and Enhances Defense Responses Against Aphids

Figure 1 Effect of T. harzianum T22 on aphid survival over time. Survival curves (percentage) of M. euphorbiae reared on the untreated water control and the T. harzianum T22 treated tomato plants are significantly different, p < 0.05 (LogRank test). For the aphid longevity assay, 10 plants for each CTRL or T22 treatment were infested with 5 newly born first instar nymphs of M. euphorbiae. The presence of aphids and of shed exuviae, as an indicator of molting occurrence, was daily monitored. Survival curves were compared by LogRank analysis.
