1Number of infected plants over number of test plants. Data combined from the number of repeated experiments as indicated. 2Range of transmission rates for each individual repetition of the experiment is indicated. When corrected by number of aphids (transmission per aphid), rates did not significantly differ at the 0.05 level according to the Tukey (HSD) test.
