FIGURE 3.
Eleven H. defensa isolates were horizontally transfected from donor aphids (clone A06-407) to recipients (37H0, 405H0, and 407H0). Transmission rate corresponds to the number of recipients out of three or four in which a H. defensa isolate successfully established after horizontal transmission, i.e., was propagated to the recipient’s offspring. The combination of colours and symbols indicates the identity of the different isolates (“donor”). Transmission rate is plotted against average titre of the isolate on the x-axis. To allow that data points with similar coordinates can be discerned, a jitter of 0.1 has been applied to both the x- and the y-axis.
