Figure 7

Different severity levels of HR - like necrosis induced by egg clutches of P. brassicae laid onto B. nigra plants under field conditions. The upper row shows the abaxial side of a leaf with eggs, the lower row shows the adaxial side of a leaf. (A) No HR - like necrosis induced (no HR = 0), (B) HR severity 1: necrosis can be observed below eggs, but hardly on the other side of the leaf, (C) HR severity 2: necrosis has spread and can be clearly observed on both sides of the leaf, the edges of the reaction are diffuse. (D) HR severity 3: necrosis is strongly expressed also around the egg clutch with sharp edges. All clutches shown are the same age (four days after egg deposition).
