The aphid resistance of transgenic chrysanthemum plants and wild type
| Plant lines | Mean aphids/leaf area (cm2)a | IR (%)b | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abaxial surface** | Adaxial surface*** | ||
| Wild type | 4.51 ± 0.98A | 0.28 ± 0.07A | 0 |
| CHS3 | 0.32 ± 0.05B | 0.00 ± 0.00B | 93 |
| CHS11 | 0.21 ± 0.05B | 0.00 ± 0.00B | 96 |
a
Values are the means (±SE) of 10 biological replicates, and different superscripts indicate significantly different (**P < 0.0001; ***P < 0.05).
b
Inhibition ratio relative to wild type plants at 30 Day. IR is given by (N W–N T)/N W × 100, where N W represent the mean of aphid number per leaf area on the wild type and N T the mean of that on transgenic plant at 30 Day.
