Figure 1. Transmission efficiency is correlated to presence of vectoring cyclophilin allele in field-collected aphid biotypes.

Figure 1

Transmission efficiency is calculated as the number of plants infected with virus out of the number of plants infested with viruliferous aphids (five aphids per plant, 12 plants used). +/- indicates the detection of the vectoring allele. Biotypes NY and H were heterozygous. Biotypes NY, F, G, and H efficiently transmitted CYDV-RPV whereas Biotyoes B, I, and Fl did not transmit at all. Biotypes C, K and Ks transmitted with poor efficiencies.
