Figure 3

Total chlorophyll content (mg/g fresh weight) in shoots. The data were obtained 4, 10, 14 and 21 days after the fungal treatments (cf. Methods, Additional file 1: Figure S1 and legend to Figure 2A). The data are based on 3 independent experiments with 16 seedlings each. Bars represent SDs. Asterisks indicate significant differences to the untreated control, as determined by Student's t-test (* P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001).
