a
Damage reported as mean percent leaf defoliation.
b
No significant difference in mean leaf defoliation between cultivars was detected by a Student’s t-test.
c
Numbers represent the percent of plants of that genotype with the indicated level of damage.
d
No-choice contingency table significant at P<0.0001 in two-sided table probability from Fisher’s exact test.
e
No-choice contingency table significant at P<0.01 in two-sided table probability from Fisher’s exact test.
