Steroid concentration at Momordica stem and Cuscuta haustoria-forming part: steroid quantification data were obtained with GC-EI-MS. Value at y axis indicates concentration (pmole/gram fresh weight) (n = 3 as biological replicates). (a) Stigmasterol of Cuscuta; (b) stigmasterol of Momordica; (c) β-Amyrin of Cuscuta; (d) β-Amyrin of Momordica; (e) peak annotated as cycloartenol in Cuscuta; (f) lanosterol of Cuscuta. Comparisons were made between Cuscuta samples and Momordica epicotyls. CBI, Cuscuta seedlings before parasitization; CHI, in vitro haustoria-induced; CM-S1, parasitizing Momordica at stage 1; CM-S2, parasitizing Momordica at stage 2; CM-S3, parasitizing Momordica at stage 3; MCC1-3, Momordica epicotyls with Cuscuta from stage 1 to 3; MCNC1-3, without Cuscuta from stage 1 to 3. Error bar indicates standard deviation (SD).
