resistance to Alternaria [leaf blight] Explanation: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="resistance to Alternaria ... low susceptibility = resistance (which is not the same as immunity) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2018-02-07 15:39:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Should you decide to go down the 'low' route, I think your choice of 'susceptibility' is preferable to the thesaurus-sourced entry 'vulnerability'. susceptibility: "The state ... of being ... liable to be influenced or harmed by a particular thing." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/susceptibility "The quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/vulnerability |
