Figure 5:NSCT concentration (% of dry matter (d.m.)) in
different pine (Pinus sylvestris ) and mistletoe (Viscum
album ssp. austriacum ) tissues under different removal
treatments (i.e. pine needle removal for pine phloem and xylem,
mistletoe leaf and shoot; mistletoe removal for pine needle, phloem and
xylem) applied to the girdled branches. The initial samples were
collected 1 d before the labeling. Dashed lines (d, e) are used to
indicate where the irrigation treatment had significant effect
(P<0.05) on NSCT concentration (see Table 2).
Different letters indicate significant differences among treatments at
the same sampling time (n = 3). Please note the difference in y-axis
scale among panels.
