Abstract: The thrip (Megalurothrips usitatus) damages the flowers and pods of the cowpea, causing “black-heads and black-tails” (BHBT) symptoms and negatively affecting its economic value. However, the mechanism by which BHBT symptoms develop is still unknown. Our results showed that the microstructure of the pod epidermis was altered and the content of the plant’s resistance-related compounds increased after a thrip infestation. However, the contents of protein and free amino acids did not change significantly, suggest… Show more
