Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
Correlation between plant and insect phenotype frequency distributions for insect metabolism of furanocoumarins (horizontal axes) versus plant production of furanocoumarin compounds (vertical axes). Data obtained correspond to figure 4 of ref. : (a) Charleston, IL samples, (b) Winoma, MN samples, and (c) Peotone, IL samples.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Magnitude of costs of resistance measured as the biomass of near-isogenic lines of plants with resistance trait divided by biomass of same lines lacking the resistance trait; these measurements are made in the absence of the stress agent ameliorated by the resistance trait. No cost is represented by a value equal or higher than 1.0, whereas the presence of a cost is indicated by a value less than 1.0, with the magnitude of the cost proportional to how much below 1.0 the value is. Data are extracted from Bergelson and Purrington’s table 3 in ref. .
Figure 3
Figure 3
Resistance spectra for 19 rice cultivar lines tested against six rice blast lineages isolated from two nearby nurseries in the Philippines. Black represents resistant and white represents susceptible, so that only solid black rows are resistant across the board to all six blast lineages. The figure is derived from data presented in table 16.4 of ref. .
