Effects of NILs carrying single or combined resistance QTL Ae-Ps5.1 and Ae-Ps7.6 on variables of Aphanomyces root rot development cycle. a/ Single QTL NIL experiment #1; b/ Combined and single QTL NIL experiment #3. The first graph represents the evolution of the probability of symptom appearance for seven days after inoculation, for each line. It corresponds to the percentage of plants with symptoms per block for each scoring day. The second graph shows for each line the root colonization speed, corresponding to the slope of the curve of pathogen DNA amounts per block, until 10 days after inoculation, from 104 DNA copies detected. Pathogen DNA data were used from one biological replicate at the fourth day in experiment #1 and the tenth day in experiment #3. In the third graph, the AUDPC was calculated from the pathogen DNA quantification data over the ten days after inoculation. Bars represent standard errors. Attribution of each line to LSMeans group(s) is indicated by letter(s), according to the Tukey test (P < 0.05). Blue and red lines indicate the NIL without QTL and the donor or resistant control lines, respectively
