Changes in plant cell wall permeability in Ae. tauschii accessions. The crown, harboring the Hessian fly larvae, of plants from lines showing mixed heterozygous (TA2452) and homozygous resistant (TA2473 and TA1651) response to larval feeding were stained with neutral red (NR) to reveal intensity of cell permeability at 3 DAH. a Representative uninfested control TA2452 plant was pin pricked and stained to distinguish staining caused by larval feeding from that caused by physical damage; b NR stained TA2452 plant showing solid lines and blush around the entire length of the stem tissue; c NR stained TA2473 plant showing a blush restricted to the larval feeding site; d NR stained TA1651 plant showing solid lines restricted to the larval feeding site
