Fig. 1

Performance of M. persicae after adaptation to different host plants. Ten selected accessions were infested with aphids reared on Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa cv. Granaat; blue icon) or pepper (C. annuum CGN19226; red icon). Performance parameters used: survival of the original nymphs (a) and the number of next generation nymphs produced (b). Survival was determined by dividing the number of living aphids by the total number of aphids (dead and alive) in the clip cage. The number of next generation nymphs was divided by the average number of living aphids present, calculated as (2*living aphids + dead aphids)/2. Each bar represents the mean values ± SD.
