Extended Data Fig. 2: . Evaluation of SPWR in stem, tuber, leaf, and storage tuber of sweet potato.
From: Natural allelic variation confers high resistance to sweet potato weevils in sweet potato
Supplementary Fig. 2a, Evaluation of SPWR in the stems and tubers of G87, N73, and N28 under field conditions. Left panel presents the SPWR phenotype of stems and tubers of sweet potato. Red arrows indicate the damaged stem base and tuber by SPW adults and larvae. Scale bar = 1 cm. Right panel shows the tuber damage index recorded in the field during 2015 to 2017. Data are presented as means ± SD of nine replicates. Asterisks indicate significant difference compared with G87 (Two-tailed Student’s t-test, *** P < 0.001, N73 vs G87, P = 6.022 × 10−10; N28 vs G87, P = 3.105 × 10−10). b, SPWR phenotype of the storage tubers of N73, N28, and G87 described in Fig. 1a. Newly hatched adults from tubers were shown at right side. Scale bar = 1 cm. c, The method of the SPW-fed leaves scanning (left) and feeding area capture (right; black color indicates the SPW damage regions). The feeding areas were calculated using ImageJ software (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). Scale bar = 1 cm.
