Lipid composition of control roots and galls of A. thaliana. Results of thin layer chromatography from non-polar lipids isolated from equal amounts of infected roots (galls) 30 days after inoculation or of healthy root material (roots) of the same age. Plant material was from wild type (WT) and LTP mutants that overexpress LTP3 (LTP3-OX) and from plants with reduced LTP3 expression (LTP3-KO). Two biological replicates with approximately 25 plants each were analyzed. The small differences in the fractions (a) and (b) were not consistent between biological replicates. Triacylglycerol (TAG) was used as a standard.
