Values are means ±sd of 3 to 11 plates with four to six independently transformed plants with 1 to 30 roots (n = total number of roots in all replicates). Analysis of variance was determined with the General Linear Model procedure and mean separation with the least significance difference method using Statistical Analysis Software 9.1 (SAS Institute). Pairwise comparisons of treatments within a row labeled with a different number of asterisks are significantly different at α = 0.05. Haustoria were counted 24 h after treatment except with host roots.
Seedling data were not included in statistical analysis because they had different ages.
Triphysaria roots were placed in contact with Arabidopsis roots for 5 d.
Medicago host exudates were obtained as described in Methods.
The 30 μM 2,6-DMBQ was from Pfalz and Bauer.
The 1000 μM syringic acid was from Sigma-Aldrich.
The100 μM 2-MBQ was from Sigma-Aldrich.
The30 μM peonidin chloride was from Indofine Chemical.
