Effect of AHS media composition on the ability of C. campestris to generate parasitically competent shoots, flowers, and fruits. A, The percentage of plants with active shoots at 36 dpi. Active shoots were defined as those with tips of at least 3 cm of healthy, turgid shoot, which are characteristic of shoots capable of forming new host connections. B, The percentage of plants with flowers only or with fruit production. Analyses included only plants that coiled and developed a healthy holdfasts. Graphs present means ± se between three independent experiments, each experiment with 6–19 plants per treatment. Statistical differences were detected by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s HSD test. Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05 and indicated with different letters.
