Relative quantification of polar metabolites at Cuscuta haustoria-forming part: polar metabolites quantification data were obtained with GC-EI-MS. Value at y axis indicates peak area of extracted ion chromatogram (XIC)/mg fresh weight (n = 3 as biological replicates). CBP, 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. Increase of lamininaribiose at both stage 2 and 3 showed statistical significance. p-Value (t-test) of laminaribiose in CBP (or CHI) vs. CM-S2 and CBP (or CHI) vs. CM-S3 was 0.004 and 0.02, respectively. Error bar indicates standard deviation (SD).
