Stachyose, sucrose and galactinol in three aphid clones fed on Vat/non-Vat melons. Aphid clones were fed on VĆ©drantais and its isogenic [VĆ©drantais]R_PI161375 melon lines for 17Ā h. NM1 aphids -triggering the Vat-mediated resistance- were used in both experiments, with either GWD2 aphids -triggering the resistance in [VĆ©drantais]R_PI161375- in experiment (1), or C6 aphids -non-triggering the resistance in [VĆ©drantais]R_PI161375- in experiment (2). Results are ratios of [metabolite quantity in an aphid batch]/[metabolite quantity in the leaf on which they fed]. The number of observations is between 5 and 9. Statistical comparisons were made between conditions within each experiment for each metabolite (Letter codes indicate significant differences between all conditions within an experiment at alphaā€‰=ā€‰0.05 according to Kruskalā€“Wallis tests)
