Fig 4. Effect of Betula pendula leaf surface lipophilic compounds on larval innate immunity parameters.

Activity (mean ±SE) of phenoloxidase in hemocytes-free hemolymph of hemolymph (a), total hemocyte count (mean ±SE) in hemolymph (b) and encapsulation rate (mean ±SE) of hemolymph (c) of fourth instar Lymantria dispar larvae reared on Betula pendula leaves with low and high concentrations of surface lipophilic compounds is presented. The data were pair-wise compared by the post hoc Fisher LSD procedure. The letters above the bar mean the significant differences (at P<0.05) to be compared with the bars abbreviated by the same letters within the bar.
