Effects of feeding by western flower thrips and induction of jasmonic acid on the transcriptome of kidney bean plant leaf

Spraying jasmonic acid can significantly induce the defense response of kidney bean plants and enhance their ability to resist the feeding of western flower thrips. The feeding of western flower thrips also induces the defense response of bean plants to a certain extent. Interestingly, pre-treating with jasmonic acid intensifies the induction of this defense response of kidney bean plants when the western flower thrips feed after wards.
