  1. Multiplication rate (MR) of the aphid population was calculated by N21/5, in which N21 represents the average number of aphids on WT plants or transgenic plants on the 21st day after aphid infestation. The inhibition rate (IR) of aphids on the transgenic plants was given by the formula (NW-NO)/NW × 100, in which NW and NO represents the number of aphids on the WT and on the CmMYB15-overexpressing plants at 21 days after aphid infestation, respectively22
  2. The different letters (a, b, c) represent significantly different aphid multiplications between the wild-type and CmMYB15-overexpressing plants
