A YouTube clip shows Gall rooted to the spot, missing note after note, as she sings about wax dolls.
All of the S plants showed tiny galls, indicating that root infection had likely occurred at 15 dpi.
After one year of cultivation, the homozygous line DH330 did not show any gall (in monoculture or in alternation with DH149), while the level of infestation progressively increased during the second and third year (GI raised up to 1.6 the third year).
Lab tests showed that Father Gall's blood had toxic levels of digoxin, a medication he was not scheduled to receive.
Two, including Father Gall, showed extremely high levels of digoxin, a heart medication that can cause heart failure given in high doses.
Despite the higher durability of the Me1 gene, our field experiments showed that the gall index increased in the F1 (DH330 × DLL) plots, with the potential emergence of a new Me1-virulent population.
Cross sections of galls showed GCs surrounded by dividing cells apparently originated from the vascular cylinder as well as from the root cortex.
Interestingly, after inoculation, the lateral roots adjacent to the galls showed strong signal, which indicated induction of CWP by nematode infection.
Two of the most interesting conclusions we could draw from these comparisons and that will deserve further explorations are thus: First, P. spyrothecae, the outgroup species, which has a different life style as it lives in galls, showed a distinct profile in expression (GO terms comparisons).
Untreated plant root system showed significantly the highest gall index of 5.0.
