Figure 2. Mutations in multiple immunity-related genes significantly affect the susceptibility of A. thaliana to initial parasitization by P. aegyptiaca.

Marker points indicate the estimated odds ratio of the rate of early attachment of P. aegyptiaca on the mutant line relative to wildtype A. thaliana. An odds ratio greater than one indicates that P. aegyptiaca is more successful on the mutant line than wildtype. An odds ratio less than one indicates that P. aegyptiaca is less successful on the mutant line than wildtype. The shapes of the marker points depict the ecotype background for each mutant line. The capped error bars represent the 95% confidence interval and the uncapped error bars (overlapping but extending) represent the 99% confidence interval. A confidence interval that does not cross the vertical line at attachment rate = 1 (the normalized attachment rate to wildtype Arabidopsis) is considered statistically different at the indicated confidence level. Data represent at least 14 replicates from at least two independent experiments for each mutant line.
