Number of nodules formed after 28 (e) dpi with Sm 2011. The numbers under the boxes denote the sample size (n). The data represent three biological replicates. c – e, Box and whisker plots show 25% and 75% percentiles, median, minimum and maximum. e, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. Different letters indicate statistical significance. Total: (A17 versus cncg15a GOF) P = 0.0472, (A17 versus cncg15c GOF) P < 0.0001, (cncg15a GOF versus cncg15c GOF) nonsignificant (NS); white nodules: (A17 versus cncg15a GOF) NS, (A17 versus cncg15c GOF) P = 0.0078, (cncg15a GOF versus cncg15c GOF) P = 0.0035; pink nodules: (A17 versus cncg15a GOF) P < 0.0001, (A17 versus cncg15c GOF) P = 0.0174, (cncg15a GOF versus cncg15c GOF) P = 0.0030.
