^a Astericks indicate significant differences in means contrasts between infected and mock-treated susceptible plants in the indicated direction.

^*, P < 0.05;

^**, P < 0.01;

^***, P < 0.001; n.s., not significant.

^b Traits measured only in the absence of competitors in large pots. Plants rarely produced basal branches with competitors and in the small pots used in the X. campestris experiment.

^c n.t., Not tested.
