Figure 2.
Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PMB05 on HrpN-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in Arabidopsis thaliana mutants. Panel (A) shows the fluorescent images, with white bars indicating 50 μm in length. Panel (B) shows the quantification of relative fluorescent intensities of HrpN-induced ROS generation in mekk1, mkk5, and mpk6 mutants. The symbols “+” and “−” indicate the inclusion or exclusion of treatments with HrpN and PMB05, respectively. Different letters on the columns indicate significant differences among the four types of plants (Col-0, mekk1, mkk5, and mpk6) for the same treatment (Tukey’s HSD test, p < 0.05). Asterisks (*) above the co-treatment columns indicate a significant difference compared to the HrpN-only treatment within the same plant type (t-test, p < 0.05).
