Because of this and the
lack of seed availability of most of the older cultivars, Georgia
Green is commonly used as a susceptible standard in breeding
line evaluations. Hence, Georgia Green was considered a susceptible
genotype in our experiments. In all, 15 or 20 plants of each
genotype were inoculated per experiment, which were triplicated.
Each plant was considered to be a replicate for a total of 50 plants
for all three repeats of the experiment.
