Levels of total cytokinins in juniper branches and telia of the two Gymnosporangium species. a Cytokinins content in the healthy juniper twig, G. asiaticum and G. yamadae and the galls. Telia-GA: the telia of G. asiaticum; Telia-GY: the telia of G. yamadae; Gall: G. yamadae induced gall tissues on juniper branches. b Cytokinins content in G. yamadae telia. 4 h, 8 h: the telia with the teliospores in supernatant of sterile water soaked after 4 h and 8 h. Total cytokinins were quantified by Plant Cytokinin (CTK) Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay Kit and Cytokinin (CTK) Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay Kit, respectively. The black boxes in the diagrammatic drawing below the abscissa show the specific sampling site of each sample. The samples to be tested were performed on microplate reader at OD450nm. Error bars are standard error (SE), n = 3
