Figure 1:

Two weeks post-transplant, plant hosts were inoculated to evaluate their ability to host Stubby root nematodes (SRN) and Tobacco rattle virus (TRV). At month zero, test hosts were transplanted into pots containing viruliferous SRNs and cultured for one to three months. Each month a subset of hosts is sacrificed, nematode counts are taken, and a tobacco bait plant is transplanted into the test pot. After one month the tobacco bait plant is harvested and both foliar and root tissue was tested for the presence of TRV using RT-PCR.

Figure A1:

Nematode reproduction factor (Rf) estimates calculated from 250 cm3 soil samples collected from four plant genotypes, across three months, in two independent experiments. Individual data points are plotted as circular dots, whereas the population mean is plotted using an “X” symbol and standard error of the mean is denoted by the error bars. Experiments are differentiated by inoculation pressure. (A) Experiment 1 (60 nematodes/10 L) is plotted in orange (B) Experiment 2 (1,060 nematodes/10 L) plotted in red.
