PPN responses to selected exudate compounds. Chemotaxis responses to selected compounds inoculated into control plant root exudate (PDS knockdown treatment) for: (A) M. incognita; (B) M. javanica; (C) G. pallida. Data represent the mean of five biological replicates of root exudate, for which ten replicate assays are performed for each nematode species. Asterisks indicate statistical significance in chemosensory index relative to the PDS:DMSO control following one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD tests. Hatch responses following inoculation of control exudate with selected compounds for: (D) M. incognita; (E) M. javanica; (F) G. pallida. The area under the curve of percentage hatch (AUCPH) was estimated by trapezoidal integration and compared by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test and asterisks indicate statistical significance in hatching relative to the PDS:DMSO control. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001, error bars represent SEM.
