Brassica oleracea isolate:Kimmeridge Raw sequence reads
Because the preference of higher trophic levels is often associated with the induced plant response after herbivore feeding, we characterised how the plant transcriptome was altered by aphid species and their parasitism status. We induced confined leaves of plants with 25 (parasitised) aphids of either species or kept uninduced control plants for 96 hours, followed by removal of the aphids and sampling of the plant material at the local feeding site.
