Asexual fecundity of Brevicoryne brassicae on wt Col-0, aos and fou2 plants. Initially two first instar nymphs were placed on each of the three plants kept in the same cage during the experiment. In total, 11 cages (33 plants) of each of the genotypes were used in the experiment. Bars represent an average number (+/- SD) of aphid progeny per cage after 13 days. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences between the numbers of newborn aphids on different genotypes as revealed by a two-tailed Wilcoxon rank sum test.
