NahG infection events relative to L. japonicus root growth

Data taken from 10 plants per line. Plants were germinated 7 d and then planted for 14 d before inoculation. Plants were harvested 2 weeks postinoculation and scored for infection events. Groups marked a, b, or c were statistically significant at α = 0.05 by a Student's t test. Asterisk (*) indicates total root length = tap root + lateral roots.
