Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Aphids made fewer probing events on uninfected or two-week-infected zucchini than on four-week-infected plants.
- Intervention effect Aphids made more phloem contacts on uninfected or two-week-infected zucchini than on four-week-infected plants.
- Intervention effect Aphids produced more nymphs on uninfected or two-week-infected zucchini than on four-week-infected plants.
- Intervention effect During phloem contact on four-week-infected zucchini, aphids spent more time forming salivary sheaths than on uninfected or two-week-infected plants.
- Intervention effect During phloem contact on four-week-infected zucchini, aphids spent less time phloem feeding than on uninfected or two-week-infected plants.
- Mechanism The observed aphid responses could enhance acquisition of ZYMV from zucchini.
