TABLE 2.

Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, lycopene, and β-carotene content in dodders presented to different hosts.

	Control	C. + bean	C. + stick	C. + wheat
Chlorophyll a	6.303 ± 0.495 A	5.184 ± 0,515 B	5.515 ± 0.692 B	2.555 ± 0.296 C
Chlorophyll b	2.185 ± 0.257 A	1.829 ± 0.201 B	1.809 ± 0.290 B	0.849 ± 0.051 C
Lycopene	0.617 ± 0.187 A	0.494 ± 0.185 A	0.566 ± 0.196 A	0.537 ± 0.041 A
β-carotene	12.446 ± 0.659 A	11.563 ± 0.611 B	11.647 ± 0.444 B	7.11 ± 0.356 C

Values represent the mean + standard deviation (n = 20). Means followed by the same capital letter did not differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05) by the Tukey test. C. + bean: Cuscuta + bean; C. + sticks: Cuscuta + sticks; C. + wheat: Cuscuta + wheat; and Control: Cuscuta presented to no host. All the values are expressed in mg 100 g^–1.
