... 1. The insect Heliothis subflexa Guenée is a specialist on plants in the genus Physalis. In the present study, the physical response of Physalis leaves to egg deposition by H. subflexa is described. 2. It was observed that the leaves of Physalis plants respond to the eggs of H. subflexa, while co‐occurring non‐host plants do not. Leaves of Physalis angulata L. and Physalis pubescens L. respon ...
