Haustorium phenotypes and gene expression levels of C. campestris growing on HIGS CcLBD25 RNAi transgenic plants. A, C, and E, Cuscuta campestris haustoria growing on a WT H1706 host. B, D, and F, Cuscuta campestris haustoria growing on T2 CcLBD25 RNAi transgenic tomato plants. B, p35S:RNAi line 1-1. D, pSUC:RNAi line 1-2. F, p35S:RNAi line 1-2. A, B, Scale bars = 500 µm. C–F, Scale bars = 100 µm. A–F, 100 µm thick vibratome sections of fresh haustorium stained with Toluidine Blue O. G, H, Expression levels of CcLBD25 and CcPMEI in C. campestris haustoria grown on WT tomatoes and CcLBD25 RNAi transgenic plants. Data presented are assessed using one-tailed Welch’s t test with WT haustoria as control. *P-value < 0.05; **P-value < 0.005; ***P-value < 0.001. p35S:RNAi indicates the transgenic plants with the 35S promoter driving CcLBD25 RNAi construct. The error bars indicate standard errors of the data.
