Data from: Tomato Chemical Defenses Intensify Corn Earworm (Helicoverpa zea) Mortality from Opportunistic Bacterial Pathogens

Mortality data of corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) in response to tomato plants expressing variable levels of anti-herbivore defenses and the opportunistic pathogen Serratia marcescens. Data include plant chemical responses, insect mortality, and colony counts of bacteria in the hemolymph of the insect.
