Table 3.

Midday shoot water potential (Ψ, MPa) of L. myrsinoides and U. europaeus in high (HL) or low light (LL), uninfected (−) or infected (+) with C. pubescens. The two species were analysed separately. L. myrsinoides: no interaction (n = 6), no infection but significant independent light effect (n = 12). U. europaeus: no interaction (n = 5−7), no infection but significant independent light effect (n = 12)
