The generation of cassava leaf material infested with Aleurotrachelus socialis. Five plants per time-point and genotype were incubated in enclosed cages for 3 days with whitefly colonies. After eggs were laid out during incubation time (72 h), whitefly adults were released and plants taken out of the cages and transferred to a whitefly-free environment to allowed progression of whitefly cycle and prevent recurrent infestation of emerging leaves. Coloured boxes highlight those leaves collected for metabolomics analysis and where whiteflies developed. Three replicates of non-choice infestation trials were performed and analysed independently. Dpi: days post-infestation; L: number of leaf counting from top emerging leaf. Pictures taken by A.B.C and L.A.B.L-L at CIAT
