a Data for the first three experiments were derived from the original data from three experiments of Bolhaar et al. [9] on respectively cultivar screening, intra-cultivar variation and storage, of which we used only the data of patients with mild symptoms. The forth experiment came from a new cultivar screening experiment.

b The underlying HEP values for Golden Delicious for the four experiments were respectively 0.54, 0.45, 0.63 and 0.69.
