Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Leafhopper foliar injury was negatively correlated with trichome density.
- Association Per capita foliar damage by leafhopper adults and nymphs was lower on plants with high trichome density.
- Association Trichome expression was not correlated with potato yield.
- Association Trichome expression was not correlated with tolerance to herbivory.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that selecting multiple pest defenses may be possible without yield loss.
