*Combinations are as follows: 1, aphids fed on FBNSVC− (plants without segment C)-infected plants and then on FBNSVU4− (plants without segment U4)-infected plants; 2, aphids fed on FBNSVU4−-infected plants then on FBNSVC−-infected plants; 3, aphids fed on FBNSVN− (plants without segment N)-infected plants then on FBNSVU4−-infected plants; 4, aphids fed on FBNSVU4−-infected plants and then on FBNSVN−-infected plants.
†Median/mean sample size = 21/21.5.
