Table 1 Percentages of Locusta migratoria nymphs (gregarious phase, Minamidaito strain) that consumed leaves and survival rates of nymphs that were reared in isolation and fed with one of barley chromosome addition lines of wheat (2H–7H), barley cultivar ‘Betzes’ (B) or wheat cultivar ‘Chinese Spring’ (CS, control) until ecdysis to the 5th nymphal instar

  1. Asterisks indicate significant differences in percentage of hatchlings consumed leaves and survival rates from the 1st to respective instars between nymphs fed wheat and barley (chi square test; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
  2. aThe number of hatchlings that consumed leaves.
